We love how the whole wheat pasta and crisp, raw vegetables blend with the rich and creamy peanut sauce. The addition of fresh lime juice really brightens the flavor of the dish.

3 Tbs sugar
2 tsp chili oil
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Lightly salt chicken breast (bone-in). Bring a pot of water to a boil and add chicken. When water boils again, cover and gently simmer 5 minutes. Then turn off heat and let sit 10-12 minutes until breast is cooked. Remove breast and let cool. 2. Meanwhile, cook pasta, drain and run under cold water. In a large bowl, toss pasta with sesame oil and set aside. 3. When chicken is cool, pull meat off the bone and into shreds about 1/4 inch wide and 1 1/2 inches long. Set aside. 4. Toss noodles with cucumber, jalapeno, ginger, basil, and red onion. Set aside. 5. In a small bowl, combine lemon grass, garlic, lime juice, chili oil, fish sauce, and sugar until sugar is dissolved.

Tips:

  • Use authentic Thai ingredients: This will ensure that your pasta has the best possible flavor. Look for ingredients like lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and Thai chili peppers. You can find these ingredients at most Asian grocery stores.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: This recipe is written for a medium-spicy pasta. If you like your food hotter, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder dish, use fewer peppers or omit them altogether.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: This dish is best when served hot and fresh. The noodles will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This spicy Thai pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. The combination of spicy and creamy sauce, tender chicken, and colorful vegetables is sure to please everyone at the table.
