MAGIC NOODLES (SPICY THAI PEANUT CURRY NOODLES)

Steps:

• Begin by poaching the chicken breast. (If you are using tofu, bake, fry, or steam your tofu. That is up to you!).
• Wrap chicken in a tin-foil wrapper and place in a baking dish. Bake at 425 for about 30 minutes or until cooked completely through. While the chicken is baking, begin the sauce.
• Pour the coconut milk into a large skillet with high sides and gently warm on medium heat for a couple minutes. Add the peanut butter and melt. As the peanut butter melts, add in the rest of the sauce (save 1/2 cup chopped peanuts) ingredients and stir fully. Let gently simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
• Start a large pot of water to boil for the noodles.
• Rinse and slice the peppers into thin strips.
• Rinse the rest of the veggies and add all of the veggies to the sauce.
• Cover and let continue to simmer on lowest heat.
• When the chicken is finished cooking, remove it from the oven and the foil & let it rest for a few minutes or until cool enough to slice. Slice the chicken into slices or chunks and add to the sauce and toss.
• Rice noodles cook fairly quickly, so keep your eye on them. Add rice noodles to boiling water and let cook according to the package directions (about 6-8 minutes). Test by eating one of the noodles for doneness. Noodle should be al dente -- cooked but not overcooked.
• Drain noodles.
• Turn off heat.
• Add a small amount of the coconut peanut butter sauce to the large pasta pot.
• Return the noodles to the pot.
• Pour the rest of the sauce with veggies on top of the noodles.
• Toss thoroughly.
• Serve with a garnish of chopped peanuts on top.

SPICY THAI PEANUT NOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, Thai chiles, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, fish sauce, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat. Add chicken and stir constantly until almost cooked, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup sauce mixture to chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken with its juices to a bowl.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in the same wok or pan used for chicken. Add carrots; cook and stir until just softened but still crunchy, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add reserved chicken with its juices, remaining sauce, green onions, bean sprouts, and cilantro. Cook and stir until just heated, about 1 minute. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile place noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Stir cooked noodles into vegetable mixture. Garnish with peanuts.
