Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts sliced into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter creamy
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 200 g rice noodles about 7 oz
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 cucumber julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 tablespoons peanuts chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large pan or skillet
  • Serving bowls
  • Pot for cooking noodles

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, honey, peanut butter, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth to create the marinade.
  2. Add sliced chicken to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and let sit for at least 15 minutes (up to 30 minutes for more flavor).
  3. Cook rice noodles according to package instructions (typically 3 to 5 minutes in boiling water), then drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  4. Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until fully cooked to 165°F, golden, and slightly charred.
  5. While chicken cooks, prepare vegetables by julienning carrot and cucumber, and slicing bell pepper into thin strips.
  6. Divide cooked rice noodles among serving bowls, creating a nest base in each bowl.
  7. Top noodles with cooked satay chicken and arrange fresh vegetables around the bowl in colorful sections.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts, and drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with firm tofu. Add chili flakes or sriracha for extra heat. For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles and tamari instead of soy sauce. Store components separately if meal prepping to maintain best texture.
