Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles

 Ingredients 

Thai Peanut Sauce:

  • 1 teaspoon grated Fresh Ginger
  • 1 clove Garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Peanut Butter (see note)
  • 3 Tablespoons Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha Hot Sauce (optional; we like Sriracha, but any type will work)

Noodles / Stir-Fry:

  • 6 ounces Instant Ramen Noodles (discard any flavor packets)
  • 1 Tablespoon Cooking Oil (I like grapeseed, vegetable or peanut)
  • 2 cups Vegetables, thinly sliced or chopped (see note)
  • 2 cups Cooked Shredded Chicken (see note)
  • 1/4 cup Roasted, Unsalted Peanuts, roughly chopped
  • Chopped Cilantro, Green Onions, Lime Wedges, or Sliced Cucumbers (optional, for garnish)

Instructions 

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil on the stove (or heat it in the microwave). Add noodles and soak in hot water until tender but still have some bite, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be careful not to overcook the noodles since they will continue to cook in the wok.) Drain.
  • Whisk together ginger, garlic, peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, water, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil, and hot sauce.
  • Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add oil and then vegetables. Saute until vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes (tough vegetables like carrots might need an extra minute or two).
  • Add peanut sauce and chicken and cook everything together for a minute.
  • Remove wok from heat and stir in noodles and peanuts. Top with chopped cilantro and / or green onions. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over top and / or sliced cucumbers if you'd like.
