Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas trimmed
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Chopped peanuts and cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using) until smooth.
  5. Add the cooked noodles and peanut sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro before serving.
