Why You’ll Like It
- Perfect for Meal Prep. You cook the night before and put it in the refrigerator and it’s ready to grab and go.
- Refreshing on hot summer days. There’s no better lunch than this one, whether you’re at the office or at home.
- You can replace the noodles with zoodles, carrots, cabbage. Add any raw veggies you like to have a grain-free dish.
- Super tasty if you like peanut butter.
Variations
- Add more sriracha sauce for an extra kick of heat. If you have Gochujang – then try it with it!
- Subs the sesame oil with coconut oil or any other vegetable oil if you don’t like the taste.
- Add the garlic. For a Fodmap friendly dish I have omitted the garlic from the recipe. However you can try it with two cloves crushed for extra taste.
- Subs the rice noodles. Use soba noodles, angel hair pasta, spaghetti and even spiral pasta.
Storage Suggestions
- Refrigerate for up to 3 days in an air tight container. You can seperate the peanut sauce from the chicken, pasta and veggies and then add the dipping sauce when serving so that the veggies and noodles don’t become mushy.
- Don’t freeze. You can prepare ahead the peanut sauce and freeze that to gain more time when preparing the dish.
- Don’t reheat. Since we have added raw cabbages here, it’s not convenient to reheat. This dish is better served cald.
