Cooking Instructions
- Toss diced chicken with cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper; let it sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Whisk together creamy peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, ginger, garlic, Sriracha, and sesame oil until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the noodles and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned all over. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, stir-fry red bell pepper and broccoli for 3-5 minutes until they start to soften. Add the shredded carrots and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add the drained noodles and peanut sauce. Toss everything together gently until coated, then heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Plate your Thai Peanut Chicken Noodles and garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for an added burst of flavor.
Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes for enhanced flavor. Customize with seasonal vegetables as desired.
