Ingredients
  

  • 2/3 cup diced onions
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2/3 cup crushed peanuts
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce I use Soyaki from Trader Joes and don't need additional sodium
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 4-6 oz thin rice noodles boiled for 1 minute
  • 2 large carrots ribonned and diced
  • 5 green onions chopped
  • 8 garlic cloves chopped not minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onions for 2–3 minutes until soft.
  • Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
  • Add in garlic powder, teriyaki sauce, cilantro and crushed peanuts. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. While you wait for the water to boil, sauté the garlic and green onions over medium heat with 1 tbsp olive oil for about 2 minutes. Make sure the garlic doesn't burn.
  • Add ribboned carrots and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
  • As soon as the water boils, drop in the rice noodles and boil for 1 minute.
  • 1 minute is perfect since they will heat more on the sauté pan. It’s very important the rice noodles don’t over cook as they would stick together easily.
  • Drain the noodles and toss into the pan with the soy sauce and sesame seeds.
  • Stir-fry everything for 2–3 more minutes until evenly coated and heated through.
  • Divide the garlic sesame noodles between bowls and top with a generous portion of the teriyaki peanut chicken.
  • Garnish with extra cilantro, peanuts, or sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
