Thai Peanut Chicken Noodles
The quickest noodle dish you could ever whip up in less than 30 minutes. Full of flavor, and can be served as a side or main!
Guys. I’m a little obsessed with these noodles. I had this about 4 times in the last 1 1/2 days.
It’s the peanut sauce that I can’t get enough of. A peanut sauce so easy and so so good made with a few pantry staples – PB, soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil and Sriracha.
You can also toss in all your veggies for a true clean-out-the-fridge meal!

Where do you find Yaki Soba noodles….in the store? Are they fresh? Can you substitute any other noodle and get the same results?
Any noodle of your choice should work just fine.
First time having to look for this, too. I didn’t find it at the first two stores I looked at -Foodmaxx and Walmart. But then I found it at the end of the produce section at a Winco, where you find tofu, kimchi, and eggroll wraps.
My family really enjoyed this! I did have to saute the chicken a little longer than 4 minutes. Maybe I needed the heat up higher or the chicken cut smaller. But it came out really tasty. This is the first of 3 of your quick and easy recipes that I’m trying this week, and this will definitely be added to my list of recipes that I’ll make regularly! The chicken with the sun dried tomato and parmesan cream sauce is also a regular favorite now. I even recently made the cream sauce to use with salmon.
BTW, I wish you’re recipe pages didn’t have autoplay videos. I live in the country where we don’t have unlimited internet yet. It drains that little bit of 15 gigs of anytime data I’m allotted each month.
I totally understand! You can actually close out on the videos at any time.
I close out one video, and sometimes I can still hear the audio play, or another ad video pops up right after that I can’t close. Oh well. I’ll just have to read through the website and print out the recipes quickly.
I really am so happy with the recipes tried so far, Chungah. You’ve done a really great job with offering quick and easy recipes that have broad appeal. I will definitely be getting your cookbook!
I used to have this problem on my previous computer but for some reason, on my new one, not so much. Karen, rather than waiting for your printer to connect and print the recipe, just choose the PDF option, save to your desktop or put in the appropriate recipe folder, and print it out later when you are not online. That’s what I do.
This looks delicious….could I make it gluten free???
Unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I made this with rice noodles, which are gluten free, and it turned out fantastic. Just remember to cook them a little bit longer. If you can’t find them in your average grocery store try looking in an all natural food store.
Yes! Use Vietnamese vermicelli noodles…gf and perfect!
I make something similar with soba noodles, they’re buckwheat so I believe they are gluten free.
I thought buckwheat was still a wheat ?
Buckwheat is a gluten free grain, the name is deceiving. Although most of the buckwheat noodles you’ll find are mixed with wheat flour, so read your labels carefully.
What kind of cabbage did you use for this recipe?
I used napa but any kind should work just fine.
I had some bokchoy that I had to use, so that’s what I did. Sliced it and threw it in and oh, my, was it delicious!
