I’ve posted many recipes by Iowa Girl Eats and this recipe is another winner. I added grilled chicken to add protein and it was delicious. I ate leftovers cold from the refrigerator and thought it was equally delicious!

Sesame Peanut Sauce Noodles with Grilled Chicken

INGREDIENTS:

• 8 oz gluten free spaghetti or ramen noodles
• 3 Tablespoons smooth peanut butter
• 3 Tablespoons gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari, or soy sauce if not gluten free
• 1 Tablespoon coconut sugar , or brown sugar or white sugar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Siracha chili sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 small clove garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 lime, sliced in half, one half sliced into wedges
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 3 Tablespoons roasted peanuts, minced
• Toppings: chopped cilantro, minced peanuts, chopped green onions, toasted sesame seeds
• Optional: 2 grilled chicken breasts, sliced

DIRECTIONS:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil then add gluten free spaghetti or ramen noodles and cook until al dente. BEFORE DRAINING, carefully scoop out 1 cup pasta cooking water then set aside. Drain pasta then return to pot.
2. Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, gluten free Tamari, coconut sugar, sesame oil, Siracha chili sauce, ground ginger, garlic, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice in a small bowl then stir to combine – it’s ok if the sauce isn’t completely smooth.
3. Add sauce, green onions, and minced peanuts to the hot pasta, plus a few Tablespoons pasta cooking water, then stir until noodles are coated and the sauce is completely smooth. Add more pasta cooking water as needed to reach a smooth consistency.
4. Scoop into bowls then serve with lime wedges and toppings and grilled chicken
