Sensational sesame flavor and peanut crunch.
Spicy Sesame Noodles with Chicken & Peanuts
Description
Our Spicy Sesame Noodles with Chicken and Peanuts have a healthy serving of red pepper flakes but don't actually come across the palate as very spicy, but more savory. The warm toasted flavors and gentle peanut crunch deliver a wholesome, mild flavor that lends itself to larger fork-fulls so don't eat too fast. ;) A treat meal to nurture both your taste buds and your lean muscle mass. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, Tamari sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
-
In a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook ⅔ of the grapeseed oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high. Add the chicken. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
-
Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil (if desired). Off the heat, add the peanut & chile oil mixture to the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss fully coating the noodles and chicken.
-
Return everything to the pan and heat until hot. Top with chives and serve at once.
