    From the Test Kitchen

    Chefs! We’re bringing you a series of recipes designed with ease of cooking and cleanup in mind, but without sacrificing the incredible flavors you’ve come to expect from a classic Blue Apron meal. Hearty ramen noodles are a comfort food staple perfect for pairing with umami-rich sauces, like the combo of smooth peanut butter spread, soy sauce, sambal oelek, and more that we’re using in this dish. For a final kick, we’re topping it all with a sprinkle of togarashi—a vibrant Japanese blend that highlights two kinds of paprika, sesame seeds, and dried orange peel.

    tips & techniques
    Prepare the ingredients
    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Peel the carrots and thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.

    Make the sauce
    2 Make the sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter spread, vinegar, honey (kneading the packet before opening), soy sauce, 1/4 cup of warm water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be.

    Cook the chicken
    3 Cook the chicken

    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate.

    In the pan of reserved fond, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushroom pieces and sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sautéed aromatics (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened. Add the chopped bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened and the leaves are wilted. Turn off the heat.
