Asian noodles in a simple Korean inspired spicy cooking sauce with chicken and vegetables makes weeknight cooking easy in this thirty minute meal.
Spicy Chicken Stir-fry Noodles
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day is for spicy chicken stir-fry noodles with Fantastical Food Fight and the topic of the month is 30 minute meals.
One of my favorite quick meals is for noodles or pasta of any type, whether it is Asian or Italian.
With quick cooking boneless chicken, a few simple veggies and a simple sauce, you can have dinner on the table in no time.
While a lot of my recipes will use a classic sauce, this one is basic and simple, not really adhering to any particular cuisine style as obviously it bends from Chinese to Vietnamese to Korean with the various ingredients. But it tastes good. And it is something I just do on the fly.
Making meals during the work week and on school nights can be very rushed and having something that is a meal in one bowl is often a plus. So the noodles with the chicken and veggies accomplishes that in one easy task, and is something the whole family should enjoy. I hope you like it!

Two of my go tos for busy weeknights. Pasta and stir fry. Both are perfect. What a great meal.
I love making stir fries for a quick but flavorful meal! Your ingredient list is amazing.
Love all those veggies in this! I agree with you that I tend to reach for pasta when I need a quick meal 🙂
