Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces Asian-style noodles (like rice noodles)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 6 ounces mushrooms (cleaned and sliced, cremini mushrooms work great)
  • 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (sliced)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups chicken breast (cooked and cut into small pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 4 green onions (chopped)
  • 1 cup peanuts (chopped)
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or any other hot sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon red chili paste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Pot
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden Spoon or Tongs
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by cooking the Asian-style noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, making sure to toss them with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. This will add a wonderful nutty flavor to your dish.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms, red and green bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  4. Stir in the cooked chicken breast pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha sauce, red chili paste, and minced ginger. This sauce is what brings everything together.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet. Toss in the cooked noodles and stir until everything is well combined and coated in that delicious sauce.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and chopped peanuts. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Feel free to switch up the vegetables based on what you have. Broccoli, snap peas, or carrots would all work beautifully!
  • If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of Sriracha and red chili paste.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free soy sauce and noodles.
