I love this garlicky version of peanut noodles, especially because it holds up incredibly well to being frozen and then reheated for a quick and easy weeknight dinner! It makes great leftovers, too. I love it with a swirl of sriracha hot sauce on top for a little kick.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles and cook, 3-5 minutes, until al dente.
- Once cooked, drain the water and immediately return the noodles to the pot.
- While the noodles are cooking, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugat, garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth and combined.
- Once the noodles are cooked, pour in the sauce, chicken broth, chopped bok choy, and shredded chicken and use tongs to toss and combine.
- Turn heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce is steamy and everything is cooked through.
- Serve with your favorite Asian hot sauce on the side
