A flavourful noodle bowl featuring smoky roasted red peppers, creamy peanut sauce, tender chicken, and rice noodles. A delicious and satisfying meal.
Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin is blackened and blistered. Place the roasted peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and slice into strips.
While the peppers are roasting, cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the roasted red pepper strips to the skillet with the chicken and cook for another minute.
Add the cooked rice noodles and peanut sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated.
Divide the noodle mixture into bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Nutrition per serving (340g)
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
Add other vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bean sprouts for extra nutrients and texture.
The peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If the peanut sauce is too thick, add more water to thin it out.
Roasting the red peppers over an open flame on a gas stovetop or grill is another option for achieving a smoky flavour.
