How to Make Ersatz Thai Fried Noodles

  1. Cook 8 oz dried noodles according to package directions. Rinse with cold water and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp ketchup, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 tbsp tamari sauce. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Using chopsticks or two forks, gently toss to combine the chicken and noodles. Stir in 1/2 cup roasted peanuts or cashews and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  5. Garnish with 1/4 cup bean sprouts and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving. Enjoy!
