Number of Servings: 7

Ingredients

    8 oz. Whole Wheat Udon Noodles (I use Whole wheat linguine when I can't find Udon)
    3 TBSP low sodium Soy Sauce
    2 TBSP reduced fat Peanut Butter
    1 TBSP cornstarch
    3/4 C fat free chicken stock
    crushed red pepper (to taste; I use almost a whole teaspoon)
    2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (substitute shrimp or tofu, if you like)
    1 TBSP canola oil
    1/2 tsp sesame oil

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions; drain. Whisk together in a bowl the chicken stock, cornstarch, soy sauce, peanut butter, and crushed red pepper. Heat in a frying pan the canola and sesame oil. Dice chicken and cook through in the oils (about 5-8 minutes). Add stock mixture, bring to a boil. Simmer sauce until thickened, about 8 minutes. Toss with cooked noodles.

    I would not call this spicy. I had to add Thai red curry paste and hot sauce and still the peanut butter was the dominant taste. I also added garlic and cut green beans. Next time I would add ginger and more curry paste. - 4/28/11

    This is a terrific recipe. However, the servings are small if you have it as your main dish. My wife and I weighed out 2 of the 7 servings each [300 calories] and with vegetables in bullion it was barely filling. The final 3 servings we split for lunch the following day with 1 1/2 servings each. - 1/10/14

    This dish is easy to make. I added several veggies; broccoli, sweet red peppers, snap peas, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots. I should have increased the sauce because of all of the vegetables. Next time. My husband liked the rice noodles, but I might try rice next time. - 8/20/13

    Good, but not spicy enough and very small portions. And also: yikes for the sodium! - 4/13/21

    I don't like whole wheat noodles, they are too gummy, I made it with real noodles. The sesame seeds in the photo aren't in the recipe, they add calories but also a wonderful taste. - 4/25/20

    2tablespoons of peanut butter in this recipe do you taste it and it serves 7 that sounds like a starter to me - 7/4/13

    This allows you to be very creative-- can use shrimp, venison, crawfish, crab, lobster, turkey-- just use a veggie broth or forget the meat-- use tofu or veggies alone! - 3/13/12

    This recipe was quick and delicious! I followed the recipe except that I add spicy garlic sauce instead of red pepper flakes (although I think I'll add both next time) and used rice noodles since that's what I had on hand. Thanks for submitting such a great and quick recipe. - 2/16/12

    First recipe to make from Spark. It was easy to make and I did find the Udon noodles so I used them. I also added brocolli and red peppers. I would make again. A lot of flavor for little calories. - 10/14/11

    I made this almost word for word according to the recipe (cuz I'm not a good cook or know what to substitute) and it was amazing! I may add veggies next time though, can't hurt :) - 9/23/11

    I added alot of stuff to it and used water instead of stock (because I didn't have it). I also used rice instead of pasta, but will definitely make again!! - 8/6/11

    This is the second time we made this. It's Really good! I added a few more veges but I really loved this with the noodles. If you can find them, it's worth the effort. - 12/22/10

    I only give 4 stars since I changed it a bit: added saute'd green & red peppers, onions and mushrooms. Cut red pepper spice in half, but added thai spice mixture instead. Very yummy!

    Quick, Easy, and delicious. Next time I will add a bunch of veggies when I cook the chicken to boost up the "color" and texture. - 8/1/10

    I just noticed that when you click on the full nutritional breakdown, there are many more veggies in the calorie count than in the recipe (veggie medley, cabbage, scallions). I can't wait to try this again and get the full effect. - 1/15/10

    My husband loved it. My step daughter hated it (she's very picky). My son ate it without complaint. I was cautious, but I liked it - it seemed to get better after a few bites (after the crushed pepper started getting warm). - 7/11/09
