Our Best Peanut Chicken Noodle Bowl Recipe
Perhaps you’ve already cooked our Slow Cooker Pot Swimming Rama, or our Peanut Udon Noodles and are looking for more delicious recipes? This dish stands on its own, but if you’re looking for a feast make our Larb Lettuce Cups or Shrimp Spring Rolls to have on the side. If you don’t have rice noodles on hand, this is equally satisfying over White Rice. If you’d like to forgo the noodle/rice component, just serve over a bed of spinach or Steamed Broccoli.
Ingredients You’ll Need For Our Chicken Noodle Bowl With Peanut Ginger Sauce
Rice noodles
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
For the sauce – peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, grated garlic, rice vinegar, red curry paste, grated ginger, light brown sugar, canned coconut milk
For the veggies – green beans, cherry tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, roasted peanuts, fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, fish sauce
How to Make This Easy Peanut Chicken Noodle Bowl
Cook and drain the noodles.
Brown the chicken in oil.
Make the peanut sauce. Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, grated garlic, vinegar, curry paste, ginger, brown sugar, and coconut milk to the skillet and whisk to combine.
Put the chicken and the sauce in the skillet, bring to a simmer and then reduce to low.
Dress the veggies. In a medium bowl, combine the green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, peanuts, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce (if using), soy sauce and garlic.
To serve, divide the noodles between bowls and top with the chicken and green bean tomato salad.
Garnish! Serve the peanut sauce over the chicken and garnish with crushed peanuts and cilantro.
How to Store Leftovers + Tips
Toss leftover rice noodles in oil. This will help them from clumping. We add a little water when reheating in the microwave or stovetop.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days, and in the freezer for up 2 months.
What if my peanut sauce separates? If your sauce separates, remove the chicken and add 2-3 tablespoons of warm water. Whisk to combine.
Substitutions – This would be just as good with a flank steak thinly sliced or chicken tenders! If using chicken breasts, cut into small pieces to keep the cook time the same. Or make it with drained and cubed tofu!
