Thai Peanut Pasta



This was a delicious pinterest find! Plus I bought already prepped veggies in the produce section which made this meal super quick to pull together! My kiddos loved it and so did Alex and I.  I may have tricked them into trying it by telling them there was a secret ingredient (peanut butter) and whoever figured out what it was could have a popsicle for dessert.  I might have to start doing that with more dinners because they all cleaned their plates! I like to believe that also had something to do with the food being good ;)  Anyway, give it a try!

Thai Peanut Pasta
3 chicken breasts (grilled and thinly sliced)
1 lb. thin spaghetti
1/4 cup sesame oil (divided)
1 cup shredded carrots (I bought a bag of already shredded carrots)
2 cups shredded cabbage (I bought a bag of cole slaw mix)
1/2 bunch green onions (chopped)
3 tsp. minced garlic
1 T. fresh ginger (peeled and minced)
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
3 T. rice vinegar
2 T. siracha
fresh cilantro (optional)
chopped peanuts  (optional)

Grill chicken until cooked through.  Remove from heat and let set for 5 min. before slicing thinly.

Meanwhile, in a large pot bring water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente (you don't want it mushy!). Drain pasta, toss with sesame oil, and set aside.

Add remaining oil to the bottom of the pot and saute green onion, carrots and cabbage until slightly softened (it doesn't take long). Then add chicken, garlic and ginger and continue cooking for 1 min.

Add remaining sauce ingredients to pot and stir to combine. Place noodles back in the pot and toss all ingredients together.

Top with fresh cilantro and/or chopped peanuts if desired. Enjoy!

  2. The ball shows you two outcomes. One of the outcomes is that you procrastinate and complete the paper the same day it is due. In this visualisation, you can observe yourself in a panicked stated, where you are just rushing to add words on the page. As a result, you compromise the quality of the work, and the grade you receive is low. In such situations, you can apply the ten-minute rule, which states that you can endure any difficult situation for just essay writing service UK. By thinking this, you can continue writing your project for ten minutes. However, when the ten-minute time frame is completed, you can spend another ten minutes on the project as you realise your potential to work continuously for ten minutes. This cycle can be repeated until your project is completed. Sometimes you do not want to attempt the academic project because it is too overwhelming to look at assignment writing service UK. Even if you persuade yourself to do it, looking at the amount of work that needs to be done reduces your motivation to attempt the project.
