Savory peanut sauce noodle dish

Ingredients for main ingredients

  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 3 Tablespoons oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz shrimp or chicken
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup fresh bean sprouts
  • 1 bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 green onions
  • 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts chopped
  • 2 limes & some fresh cilantro
  • Ingredients for sauce

  • 4 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter

  • Cook noodles according to package instructions, just until tender. Rinse under cold water.


    Mix the sauce ingredients together. Set aside.


    Heat 1 1/2 Tablespoons of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, garlic and bell pepper. The shrimp will cook quickly for about 2 minutes on each side. If using chicken tenders, cook until just cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side flipping only once.


    Push everything to the side of the pan. Add a little more oil and add the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces in the pan with the spatula.


    Add noodles, sauce, bean sprouts and some of the peanuts (reserve less than half) to the pan. Toss to combine.


    Top with green onions, reserved peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges. Serve and enjoy!
