tips & techniques

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots and thinly slice into rounds. Pull off and discard the tough string that runs the length of each snap pea pod. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, hoisin sauce, vinegar, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

2 Brown the chicken

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper if desired. In a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat half the sautéed aromatics (you will have extra) on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned.

3 Cook the chicken, vegetables & sauce

Add the sliced carrots to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the prepared peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chicken is cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

4 Cook the noodles

Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

5 Finish & serve your dish

Add the cooked noodles to the pan of cooked chicken, vegetables, and sauce. Stir to thoroughly combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles garnished with the peanuts. Enjoy!
