Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Ingredients
- 4 cups water
- 2 packages (3 ounces each) ramen-style noodles
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in thin strips
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 2 carrots, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- ½ large head cabbage, thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
- ¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
- Bring 4 cups water to boil in a 2 to 3 quart saucepan. Add noodles, cover, and remove from heat (do not add flavor packets). Wait one minute, drain noodles and set aside.
