Instructions

Make the Peanut Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced shallots and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5-8 minutes. Add the peanut butter, honey, curry powder, and sambal oelek, stirring to combine. Cook for about 1 minute, then add coconut milk. Stir to combine and blend until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if needed. Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
Prepare the Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and place in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of peanut sauce and 1 tbsp of chopped peanuts or cashews. Toss until noodles are coated.
Assemble the Noodle Bowl: Place the peanut sauce-covered noodles into the center of a bowl. Surround with the warmed chicken, julienned vegetables, and fresh herbs. Garnish with chopped peanuts or cashews, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Store extra peanut sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for later use. Feel free to swap rice noodles for spaghetti, or use tofu in place of chicken for a vegan version.
