Spicy Chicken and Peanut Shirataki Noodles

Spicy Peanut Chicken with Shirataki noodles
The end of the quarter is always a hectic time for us at work and this month is especially busy as we have a huge project we’ve committed to release in June. I’m expecting a few late nights this week and spent Sunday prepping some meals I can whip up in a snap.

One of my favorite make-mostly-ahead meals is this Spicy Peanut Shirataki Noodle dish. Letting the chicken marinate and the noodles soak in the broth overnight only adds extra flavor. All you have to do the next day is heat up the noodles (microwave or stovetop) and stir-fry the chicken and veggies – tasks that take less than 15 minutes including clean-up.

Spicy Peanut Shirataki Noodles with Sriracha Chicken

If you’ve never used shiritaki noodles, they’re vegan, gluten-free, no-calorie noodles made from the konjac yam.  They’re a little stinky when you first open a package but give them a rinse in hot water or a quick boil and they absorb all the flavors of the delicious broth you put them in – perfect for a dish like this!  You can find them at Asian markets or in the refrigerator section of some grocery stores.  I buy mine online from Miracle Noodle. Be warned that there are also tofu shirataki noodles out there that have more calories. They’d probably work in this dish but the nutritional information will be different.

You can prepare the noodles and marinate the chicken up to 2 days in advance.  Substitute liquid aminos for the soy sauce to make this gluten free.

Spicy Chicken and Peanut Shirataki Noodles

Ingredients

  • 4 7-oz bags Shirataki noodles
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbs fresh ginger, minced, divided
  • 1-1/2 tbs fresh garlic, minced, divided
  • 2 tbs Sriracha, divided
  • 3 tbs soy sauce, divided (tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbs lime juice
  • 2 c chicken broth
  • 1 tbs honey
  • 5 tbs PB2 (or substitute 3 tbs peanut butter)
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 12 oz broccoli slaw
  • 1/2 c cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Combine 1 tbs minced ginger, 1 tbs minced garlic, 1 tbs Sriracha, 1 tbs soy sauce and 1 tbs lime juice to create marinade. Cut chicken into strips and marinate 30 minutes to overnight.

Meanwhile, thoroughly rinse shirataki noodles in hot water.

Combine chicken broth, 1 tbs minced ginger, ½ tbs minced garlic, 1 tbs Sriracha, 2 tbs soy sauce, honey and PB2 and bring to a boil. Add noodles and simmer 5 minutes. Noodles can be served immediately but absorb the flavors and get even tastier overnight.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add sesame oil, chicken strips, and marinade. Stir fry until chicken is just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add broccoli slaw and stir fry for another 2 minute until slaw is softened and chicken is browned.

Divide noodles between 4 bowls and top with broccoli and chicken. Garnish with cilantro and serve with plenty of Sriracha on the side.

    This looks awesome and love that you use PB2. where are the carb count coming from though?? That seems high based on the ingredients listed. What am I missing? 🙂

      Hi Jacquie!

      I re-calculated and you’re absolutely right that my carbs and cals are a little high – thank you so much for catching! I tend to round up sometimes. I’ll update the nutritional info here but, of the 16 g of carbs per serving, most come from the broccoli slaw (5g) and honey (4.3 g). You an totally leave out the honey without too much flavor impact if you’re trying to reduce carbs. Otherwise, you get about a gram from the garlic, a gram and a half from Srirahi, almost a gram from the soy sauce, and over 3 grams from the PB2.

      Thanks again!
