Simple Sesame Noodles W/Chicken & Snow Peas

 

The other night I was pretty tired so I wanted to make something easy peasy for dinner. I have been craving Asian food, but then I always am. I remembered this recipe over at someone's blog who needs no introduction....... The Pioneer Woman.

Everyone loves Ree, so I am sure this recipe for Simple Sesame Noodles isn't anything new, but it's new to me. The photos at her site were so mouthwatering that I had to make this noodle dish. The best thing about this recipe is that it's simple just like the title says.

Just toss the ingredients together and pour it over hot noodles. It doesn't get any easier than that. Besides eating these noodles plain you can jazz them up a bit and add chicken, shrimp, pork and vegetables. I added some stir fried chicken and snow peas to make it into a meal.

Believe me these noodles are great just served plain or along side grilled grilled chicken or beef. Next time I make Grilled Soy Honey Chicken I am serving these noodles. I really thought this recipe fell under the category of "chic" food, but I was wrong. My husband and daughter loved them.

I have included a few step by step photos, but these noodles really are a snap to toss together. Thanks Ree for another fabulous recipe!!!!

Start by boiling the noodles cook just until al dente. Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, hot chili oil and canola oil together in a bowl and set aside. 

Taste and adjust the ingredients as needed. I cut down the sesame oil by one teaspoon, but it is your preference. While the noodles are cooking, saute the chicken.

I tossed the chicken in a bit of stir fry sauce before cooking, but you can leave it plain. When the chicken is cooked through add the snow peas and cook for an additional 3 - 5 minutes then turn off the heat. 

Drain the noodles and add the chicken and snow peas. Pour prepared sauce over warm noodles and toss to coat. Sprinkle with green onions and toss again.

Enjoy!
