Who doesn’t love Chinese take-out? It has those crave-worthy flavors that always leave us coming back for more. I love when I can make a Chinese take-out style dish without ever leaving the comfort of my home, and better yet when I can have it made in 30 minutes!
Sesame Noodles with Chicken and Broccoli
Pass the biggest bowl in the cupboard, some chopsticks, and the remote because I’m not going out in that cold tonight! The other great thing about staying home for dinner is that you can control exact ingredients that go into your meal, and you can flavor it just as you’d like.
This is a forgiving recipe, if you want to add a little more of something. Say you want a little more bite of sour—just add a little more vinegar. Or if you love it spicy, there’s no one to stop you from adding Sriracha, hot chili oil, or red pepper to your heart’s content (although we all know there, don’t get too crazy or it will be the only thing you taste). Adding peanut butter or peanuts could give you that Pad Thai vibe. And of course, you can switch up the veggies – I’ve also tried this with spinach and it’s delicious as well. I’d like to try carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, snap peas, or water chestnuts. You could even swap out the chicken for shrimp, salmon, pork, or beef (just cook accordingly). Soba noodles are common, but gluten-free friends could use zucchini noodles. This is the best thing about stir-frys, because you can make it with whatever you have in the fridge or whatever flavors you like best! I hope you love this as much as my family did, we polished off every last noodle in no time!
