Thai Noodles With Spicy Peanut Sauce

Submitted by jenpalombi

"This is a recipe that I've tweeked and adjusted to yield a warm noodle side-dish. It can also stand alone as a main dish. It's quick and easy and full of flavor! I serve it with Chicken Satay. Leftovers are yummy hot or cold."

I was looking for a recipe similar to the Thai Chicken Pasta dish at Cheesecake Factory, and this was very close. To bring it closer to the Cheesecake Factory Dish, I added two cut up chicken breasts, which I cooked until it turned white before adding the carrots and vegetables. Also, I increased the peanut butter by a tablespoon, doubled the chili sauce, and topped the final dish with fresh bean sprouts. One more thing; whisk the sauce ingredients before adding it to the vegetables to make a smooth sauce. My whole family loved this!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I have made it quite a few times since finding it. Last time I cut up chicken breasts and cooked them first with garlic, and then added them to the veggies and sauce while the sauce was thickening. Very good! *I don't use sesame oil and I cut up fresh broccoli and carrots

I hate being that guy that changes up recipes and reviews them (giving it a 5 star anyway) Changes I made: -Thick rice noodles instead of linguine noodles -2 cups fresh veg (broccoli and red pepper) instead of frozen veg -Added whisked egg while it was being stir fried together -Garnish with peanuts, cilantro and a lime wedge for spritzing After that, very authentic and amazing. Cheers

Yum, yum, yum!! I was craving Thai noodles and this hit the spot dead on. I cut the sesame oil down to a little over 2 tablespoons and used shredded cabbage instead of frozen veggies. Once plated, I squeeezed a little fresh lime juice on top. Thanks for posting. I'll be making this again and again.

Very good! I added chicken with the garlic and ginger. Instead of using the frozen stir fry veggies, I used fresh broccoli, which I added once the chicken was cooked. For the chili-garlic sauce, I used Sriracha hot chili sauce. The DH called it awesome. :) Thanks for sharing!
