Indonesian Peanut Saute

By melissab

This Peanut Saute is my personal version of the “Indonesian Peanut Saute” from Noodles & Co. It turned out just like it! It got my hubby’s stamp of approval. In fact, he said “this is my favorite Thai noodle dish I have ever had, even better than Noodles & Co.!

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, saute chicken in oil, Sriracha, lime, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt and pepper.

While chicken is cooking, prepare the linguine and make the peanut sauce.

After the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and wrap in foil to keep warm.

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. Add 3 to 4 shakes of soy sauce.

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.
