Ingredients:
For the Spicy Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup water (or more as needed)
- 8 ounces noodles of your choice (such as spaghetti or rice noodles)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for grilling
- Chopped peanuts, sliced green onions, and lime wedges, for garnish
- First, prepare the Spicy Peanut Sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, Sriracha sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice until smooth. Thin out the sauce with water to achieve your desired consistency. Set aside.
- Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Brush the grill with vegetable oil to prevent sticking, then grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked noodles with the Spicy Peanut Sauce until well coated.
- To serve, divide the peanut noodles among serving plates or bowls. Top with slices of grilled chicken and garnish with chopped peanuts, sliced green onions, and lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve your Indonesian-inspired Spicy Peanut Noodles with Grilled Chicken immediately and savor the fusion of bold, spicy, and savory flavors that'll transport you to the vibrant streets of Indonesia.
