Ingredients
Peanut Sauce
- ⅓ cup drippy peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (Tamari for gluten-free)
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2-3 tablespoons water to thin (more as needed)
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups thin rice noodles (vermicelli), cooked al dente
- 4 grilled chicken breasts, cubed or shredded
- 1 avocado, sliced or cubed
- ½ cup mango, cubed
- ½ cup carrots, julienned
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
- ¼ cup peanuts, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup drippy peanut butter, 1-2 tablespoons real maple syrup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon water. Whisk thoroughly to blend, adding up to an additional tablespoon of water if needed to reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Cook Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 4 cups of thin rice noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Chicken: Ensure the chicken breasts are grilled and cubed. Alternatively, shred a store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Build Bowls: Divide the cooked rice noodles evenly among four bowls. Top each with the grilled chicken, avocado slices, mango cubes, julienned carrots, and sliced green onions.
- Serve: Drizzle each bowl with the prepared peanut sauce to taste. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the consistency of the peanut sauce by adding more water if it’s too thick.
- Substitute grilled chicken with rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- Rice noodles should be rinsed with cold water after cooking to prevent clumping.
- For a gluten-free version, use Tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- Feel free to add other crunchy vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers for extra freshness.
