Spicy Thai Chicken Noodle Stir Fry
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday filled with family, friends, good food, and lots of laughter! If you don’t have leftovers or you simply want something fresh for dinner tonight, I recommend this easy and delicious Spicy Thai Chicken Noodle Stir Fry recipe.
This recipe might look like it has a lot of ingredients, but I promise they are simple ingredients and a lot of them are just to create a really tasty sauce. The sauce is a SunButter base with tamari, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and fresh ginger. You can use this sauce for all sorts of recipes.
For the stir fry, I cooked some boneless skinless chicken thighs and some carrots and bell pepper, but you can swap the veggies (broccoli or bok choy would be a nice addition) and you could even use some leftover turkey instead of cooking chicken. If you have leftover Thanksgiving turkey, just make sure you use skinless turkey and chop it into bite-sized pieces, then skip the chicken-cooking step and toss the turkey in with the cooked carrots and bell pepper and warm it through.
