Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, broth, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sriracha, fish sauce, cornstarch, curry powder and ginger until smooth. Set aside. If you want extra heat, add more sriracha to your sauce.
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Spray a large pan or skillet with nonstick spray or avocado oil, over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken slices and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the oil, followed by onion and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, and edamame, and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked chicken back into the pan. Pour in the satay sauce and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
- Add the cooked noodles and toss until everything is well-coated and combined.
- Top with chopped peanuts, green onions, fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
- Add more sriracha or red pepper flakes for extra heat, or reduce it for a milder dish.
- Keep the bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage slightly crisp for a fresh crunch in every bite.
