Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry produce. Halve, core and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. Halve, peel and thinly slice onion. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop peanuts.
- Place noodles in a medium bowl and cover with hot water. Gently stir to break apart noodles, 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken, bell pepper, onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender, 4-6 minutes. Add drained noodles, ginger paste, soy sauce, chili sauce and 1/4 cup water. Cook, stirring, until sauce warms and noodles are coated, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add butter and a squeeze of lime juice to the pan. Toss to combine; taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Divide noodles between bowls. Drizzle with spicy mayo. Top with peanuts and lime zest. Serve with lime wedges.
Recipe Tips
For extra heat, add more spicy mayo or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the noodles cook an extra minute to reduce the liquid.
Substitute ground pork or tofu for chicken if desired.
