Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- 8 ounces (uncooked) noodles of your choice (I used linguine)
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil or olive oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small white onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces baby bella or white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 large zucchini, spiralized (or chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 batch Kung Pao Sauce (see below)
- toppings: chopped peanuts, thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (or sriracha)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Method
Leave noodles al dente according to package instructions. Strain, drizzle with a bit of oil, and toss to combine. Keep nearby until ready to use.
While the noodles are being prepared, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan or wok over medium-a hot burner. Salt chicken evenly with a few pinches of salt and pepper, then add it to the pan. Leave for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Move the chicken to a clean plate with a slotted spoon, and keep nearby.
Tip in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, along with the onion and mushrooms. Sauté for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft. Tip in the zucchini* and garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the Kung Pao Sauce, cooked chicken and rice noodles, and toss until everything is evenly combined. Leave for 1 more minute until it comes to a let it bubble gently.
Lift from heat and serve while it is hot, garnished with your desired toppings.
Beat all ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. If you would like a spicier sauce, add an extra tablespoon or two of the chili garlic sauce.
