Spicy Tip: Meal Prep Like a Pro
This recipe is a lifesaver when meal prepping. Here’s how I make weeknight dinners stress-free:
- Make the Sauce in Bulk: On weekends, I whip up a big batch of this peanut sauce and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays fresh for up to a week!
- Prep Your Veggies: I chop carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas ahead of time so they’re ready to go.
- Cook the Protein: Grilled or baked chicken pairs perfectly with these noodles and can double as a topping for salads throughout the week.
When dinner time rolls around, all I need to do is boil the noodles, toss them with the sauce, veggies, and chicken, and voilà—dinner is served!
Why It’s Perfect for Kids
This recipe is a family favorite. The creamy peanut flavor appeals to little taste buds, and you can sneak in extra veggies for a nutrition boost. If your kids prefer milder flavors, skip the chili flakes in the sauce and let them customize their bowls at the table.
