Ingredients
Chicken & Noodle Sautee
- 1 lb chicken breast⠀
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil⠀
- 2 cloves garlic⠀
- 2-3 daikon radishes
- ½ red bell pepper⠀
- 2 eggs optional⠀
- ½ cup bean sprouts I prefer fresh, but canned works too, just drain them first⠀
Toppings (all optional)⠀
- 1 green onion sliced⠀
- 1 small bunch cilantro⠀
- ¼ cup unsalted cashews⠀
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds⠀
- 1 lime sliced⠀
Pad Thai Sauce⠀
- ¼ cup coconut aminos⠀
- 2 Tablespoon cashew or sunflower seed butter⠀
- 2 Tablespoon lime juice⠀
- 2 dates⠀
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce⠀
- ⅛ teaspoons hot sauce optional⠀
Instructions
Prep Work
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Slice the garlic. Spiralize the daikon (you can peel it first if you’d like… i don’t) and thinly slice the red pepper.
Cook the Chicken & Veggies
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken to the oil, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides and the garlic is fragrant, about 4 minutes.
- Add the red pepper, garlic, and daikon to the pan, continuing to stir occasionally until the vegetables are cooked down a bit.
Make the Sauce
- Prepare the sauce by blending all the sauce ingredients together in a blender, or finely chop the dates and whisk it all together (it tastes the same, it just has different texture).
Finish the Dish
- Stir in the sauce and sprouts, if using. Simmer together until the chicken is cooked through and the noodles are softened, about 3-4 more minutes.
- Push everything to the side within the pan, and add in the scrambled eggs (you can always cook them separately, if you’d prefer). Turn often as they cook. Once the eggs are cooked through, mix everything together in the pan.
Serve & Enjoy!
- Divide the mixture into four bowls, and top each with sliced green onion, cilantro, cashews, and lime slices.⠀
