Sesame Chicken Noodles
Ingredients
  • 2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 (10 ounce) package Chinese egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 medium poblano pepper, sliced
  • 3 stalks green onions, white parts only, chopped
  • 1/2 cup snow peas
  • 4 mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chile paste
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1
Prepare the chicken by sprinkling it with a blend of spices that typically includes cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Szechuan peppercorns.
2
Heat a neutral-tasting oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or peanut oil, in a well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook constantly until it develops a rich brown color on all sides and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and cut it into small, manageable pieces.
3
Meanwhile, fill a large container with water that has been lightly salted and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until they are tender but still retain some firmness when bitten into, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
4
Heat a fragrant oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or peanut oil, in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and carrot and cook constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, poblano pepper, and green onions; stir constantly. Add snow peas, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger; mix well. Add cooked noodles and chicken and combine everything together.
5
Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, and Sriracha for the sauce in a large bowl. Use a whisk to stir everything together until it is smooth and well combined.
6
Stir the sauce into the wok and cook for 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
