Servings 5
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 1.5 Tbsp red curry paste
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp olive or sesame oil
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 cup coleslaw mix
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
Instructions
- Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and pour warm water over them. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, then use a fork to gently separate the noodles. Drain the water.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the red curry paste, soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, sriracha, peanut butter, and honey to create your peanut sauce.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the ground chicken and cook until it's no longer pink.
- Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the coleslaw mix and cook for about 3 minutes, or until it starts to soften.
- Add the noodles to the pan with the cooked meat and vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over the mixture and stir to combine.
- Toss in the spinach, then cover the pan. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through and the spinach has wilted.
- Serve the dish topped with chopped peanuts, cilantro, green onions, and a drizzle of chili crunch.
- If you like, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.
