  • 8 oz rice noodles or linguine noodles
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup purple cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Chopped peanuts, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1–2 teaspoons sriracha or chili garlic sauce (to taste)
  • Warm water, as needed to thin the sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together all peanut sauce ingredients until smooth, adjusting consistency with warm water.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, bell pepper, carrots, cabbage, and cucumber.
  4. Add noodles and pour the peanut sauce over everything. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Serve garnished with cilantro, chopped peanuts, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with grilled shrimp, tofu, or rotisserie chicken.
  • Use spiralized zucchini or shredded cabbage for a low-carb version.
  • Add crushed pineapple or extra sriracha for flavor variations.
  • Great served hot or cold—perfect for meal prep or lunch on the go.
  • Store peanut sauce separately if making ahead to keep veggies crisp.
