Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon + 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 8 ounces uncooked linguine noodles
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 4 ounces Snow peas strings removed
- 1 medium zucchini cut into matchsticks
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

- 2 scallions chopped on the diagonal
Instructions
- Toss the sliced chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside to marinate for five minutes.

Notes
- Store leftover spicy Peanut Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months.
- To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to maintain moisture. Alternatively, microwave in a covered dish, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
