Noodles:

  • 1 pack (81g) instant ramen noodles

Sauce Ingredients - 2 servings:

  • ⅔ cup (75g)  peanut powder 
  • 2 Tbsp (30g) rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp (15g) sambal oelek
  • ¼ cup (60g) soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) water from cooked noodles

  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste 

Assembly:

  • 1 pack cooked instant ramen noodles
  • 7 oz (200g) chicken breast

Directions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl add peanut powder, rice wine vinegar, sambal oelek, soy sauce, and garlic, and whisk to combine. 
  2. Cook and drain instant ramen noodles according to package instructions. 
  3. Add noodles to sauce followed by water from noodles and mix with tongs until emulsified and combined.
  4. If adding chicken, begin to preheat a large saute pan set over medium high heat. While preheating, pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil. Place the chicken into the pan and sear on each side for 2 - 3 minutes. Once seared on each side, flip continuously until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F (73°C). Let the chicken rest for 3 - 4 minutes, then slice to get ready for assembly. 
  5. Plate noodles into bowl, top with cooked chicken breast, and garnish with thinly sliced green onion
