This Weekend in Hedonism (Segment 3)

Cheryl’s Recipe Corner!

Peanut Butter Chicken and Noodles

Description

A quick way to make some knock-off Pad Thai… which I love.  I’m still trying to get Russ completely on-board with it (he likes it, but not like how I like it!)

Ingredients

8 ounces Udon noodles

1 large boneless/skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3/4 cup chicken broth

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons Sriracha (optional)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add Udon noodles and cook until tender according to package directions. Drain. Cook chicken in vegetable oil over medium heat until starting to brown; remove from heat and set aside. Combine chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, chili paste, and garlic in a small saucepan.  Cook over medium heat until peanut butter melts and is heated through.  Add noodles and meat, and toss to coat.  Garnish with green onions and peanuts. Notes: Feel free to substitute shrimp or beef instead of chicken
