Submitted by basia1

"I love mandabears Thai Chicken ( #36010 ), but never seem to have everything to make it. Tonight, I totally changed it, based on what I had onhand and based on the peanut sauce that is part of mandabear's recipe. I hope you like it as much as we did."

 

• Ready In: 22mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 cup tomato sauce (I use homemade, but any will do.)
• 1⁄2 cup peanut butter
• 1⁄4 cup molasses
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon red chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 6 ounces cooked noodles (I used brown rice udon)
• 3 chicken cutlets
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

directions

1. Cook noodles in water without salt.
2. Cook chicken in the olive oil.
3. When complete, put to side while making the sauce.
4. When cool enough to slice, slice.
5. In a small saucepan, place the peanut butter, tomato sauce, molasses, soy, ginger, hot sauce, and chili sauce.
6. Stir until combined on low.
7. This will take about 5- 10 minutes.
8. I like to stir a lot in the first few minutes, and then once combined, but not yet warm, very frequently.
9. In a wok, place the sesame oil, cooked noodles, cooked chicken (sliced) and the sauce.
10. Toss until mixed well and warmed throughout.
11. Serve immediately.
