Foodwrangler: Peanutty Noodles
Here's what I made for dinner last night as Brett continued to move in his stuff (official move in is tomorrow night!).
12 oz. linguine
olive oil to coat pan
1 c chicken broth
2 T soy sauce (I used lite)
1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small strips
Red pepper flakes to taste
6 scallions, cut into ½ “ pieces
1 large carrot, shredded
1 T each minced garlic and minced ginger
3-4 T creamy peanut butter
1/4 c chopped peanuts
1. Cook linguine according to package directions. Stir together soy sauce and chicken broth in a measuring cup.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add chicken and red pepper flakes. Cook 5 minutes or until pork is browned. Add scallions, carrot, garlic, and ginger; cook 3 minutes.
3. Stir broth mixture and peanut butter into pork. Cook until peanut butter melts and everything is blended.
4. Reserve 1 c pasta water. Drain linguine, add to skillet, and toss until evenly coated with sauce. Only stir in some of the pasta water if it needs to be creamier or thinned out a bit.
5. Plate and top with chopped peanuts.
