Instructions

Creating Kung Pao Chicken Noodles is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Noodles: Begin by boiling the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Bell Peppers and Carrots: Toss in the diced bell peppers and carrots. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles, green onions, and peanuts, stirring to combine.
7. Make Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, chili paste, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the noodle mixture.
8. Toss and Heat: Stir everything together until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more soy sauce or chili paste for extra flavor.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
