Ingredients
Substitution
Note
Ingredients for 5 servings:
- 1 3/4 lb raw chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- spray olive oil
- 32 oz Shirataki tofu noodles
- 1 medium raw purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 celery stalk, chopped
- Sauce:
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth)
- 1/3 cup warm water (or more if you desire a thinner sauce)
- 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil (or peanut oil)
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic (minced or paste)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar (or your choice of vinegar)
- Sriracha to taste (spice level)
- Garnish
- chopped green onions
- chopped peanuts
- cracked pepper (if desired)
Steps
Step 1
Chop chicken breasts into small pieces. About the size of your thumb.
Step 2
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and spray it with olive oil. Toss in the chicken and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside or outside. The outside of the chicken should be lightly seared/brown. Set the chicken aside (or place it in the fridge to chill).
Step 3
Prep the veggies by chopping the red bell pepper and celery, then shredding the cabbage using a sharp knife or mandolin.
Step 4
Drain or strain the Shirataki noodles and place them in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Cook in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes in order to remove the odor. After that, place it in the fridge to chill.
Step 5
In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce. Place in the fridge to chill for at least 15 minutes.
Step 6
In a larger bowl, add the noodles, chicken, bell pepper, celery and the sauce. Fold everything together so that it is well mixed.
Step 7
Add about a cup of shredded cabbage to each meal container, then evenly divide the peanut pasta among the containers.
Step 8
Garnish, chill and enjoy!
