Method

Preparation

Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, and ginger to create the peanut sauce.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Cooking

Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a little oil and sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
In the same pan, add the sliced vegetables and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender.

Assembly

Toss the cooked noodles with the peanut sauce and add the sautéed vegetables.
Serve in bowls, topped with sliced chicken, crushed peanuts, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add a splash of water when reheating to prevent noodles from drying out.
