Notes

  • Slice Chicken Thinly: Ensure your chicken breast is sliced into thin, even strips. This not only helps it cook evenly and quickly but also ensures every bite is infused with the sauce's flavor.
  • Fresh Ingredients for the Sauce: Use fresh garlic and ginger for the sauce. Fresh ingredients make a significant difference in flavor compared to their dried or powdered counterparts.
  • Note: there will be lots of sauce in this dish, but the noodles will absorb most of the sauce.
  • Store leftover peanut noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, just pop it in the microwave or back in a skillet/wok until heated through.
  • If you want to keep this dish longer, you can freeze it in an airtight container - just keep in mind it may lose its quality and is best served fresh.
