Preparation
Step 1
Spicy Peanut Sauce: Puree sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add the peanuts last so you can control how chunky it is (I like to leave it a little more on the chunky side).
Step 2
Chicken: Cook the chicken in a skillet over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper. When the chicken is cooked through, set aside until cool enough to handle and shred the meat.
Step 3
Vegetables: Chop the red pepper, cabbage, and cilantro to your desired size for the salad.
Step 4
Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package directions (usually just boiling for a few minutes).
Step 5
Assemble: Toss everything together with enough dressing to generously coat everything. Serve hot or cold!

Chef's notes
Can be prepped ahead of time by tossing everything together except the veggies, which are best when added just before serving.
If desired, double the sauce for extra flavor.
