Indonesian Peanut Saute

I woke up the other morning with a SERIOUS craving for my favorite dish from Noodles & Company, the Indonesian Peanut Saute. It is spicy and peanut-buttery and the veggies are crunchy and fresh and delicious.

Well guess what? There isn't a single Noodles ANYWHERE in the state of Oklahoma. 

Fine. I'll make it myself.

Recipe adapted from Favorite Family Recipes

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
• 1-2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 1 Tbsp Sriracha chili sauce
• juice of 1 lime
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
• 3-4 shakes soy sauce
• salt & pepper (to taste)
• 16 oz. (1 pkg.) linguine noodles
• 1 Cup shoestring carrots
• 1 Cup broccoli florets, chopped
• green onion
• bean sprouts
• peanuts
• 2-3 limes, sliced
PEANUT SAUCE:
• 1 c. chicken broth
• 6 Tbsp. (heaping) creamy peanut butter
• 2-4 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce - depending on how hot you like it
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 6 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp. fresh minced ginger
• 4-5 cloves garlic, pressed or minced

Instructions

• In a large skillet, saute chicken in oil, Sriracha, lime, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt & pepper. While chicken is cooking, prepare the linguine (to al dente) and make the peanut sauce. After the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and wrap in foil to keep warm.
• Re-oil the skillet, add vegetables and saute (except for the bean sprouts, add those a few minutes before serving so they are still nice and crunchy and don't get overcooked). Add the chicken and bean sprouts to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat.
• Drain noodles and stir them together with the peanut sauce. Top with veggies & chicken and garnish with peanuts and limes.
• FOR THE PEANUT SAUCE: Combine chicken broth, peanut butter, chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sauce becomes smooth and well blended.
