Easy one pot meals are always a favorite for busy weeknights. Especially when noodles are involved. Since Lunar (Chinese) New Year is coming up soon, we couldn’t let this special occasion go without sharing a new noodle dish.

These Asian Sesame Chicken Noodles are full of flavor and come together in just 30 minutes. And the best part? These delicious noodles have that same sweet and sticky sauce that everyone loves about P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef. You can satisfy that takeout craving without leaving your house.

Plus, I use gluten free rice noodles and added lots of chopped vegetables so you can still keep those healthy New Year’s resolution goals. To keep these lower carb, you can even use these Shirataki Noodles that I am obsessed with.

Easier, healthier and better than takeout!

HOW TO MAKE THESE SESAME CHICKEN NOODLES

1. Start off by soaking the rice noodles in a big bowl of hot water. The great thing about rice noodles is that they are gluten free and are ready in about 8 minutes. Be sure to grab the ones that you use for Pad Thai or Pho – they are about 1/4″ thick. You can usually find them in the Asian aisle at most large grocery stores.
2. To make the sweet and sticky sauce, you’re going to whisk together some low sodium soy sauce, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, brown sugar and a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.
3. After you brown the chicken, transfer to a plate. Saute the vegetables and cook until they are just crisp tender. Add the sauce, chicken and noodles back to the pan and toss to coat well.
   Serve hot with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.

Can I use another type of noodles?

• Yes, this recipe is really flexible so feel free to use any other (preferably 1/4″ thickness) noodles of your choice. Lo mein, egg noodles or even fettuccine noodles would be delicious here as well.
