9 oz package of dried Udon noodles (or you can use pre-cooked noodles and boil for a few seconds)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 Tbs. minced fresh ginger root
3 Tbs. soy sauce
3 Tbs. peanut butter
1 1/2 Tbs. honey
2 tsp chili oi or chili paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
4-5 chicken tenders, cooked and cut into small pieces
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  1.   Bring a large pot with lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Drop the udon in a few noodles at a time and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain; return to the pot.
  2. While the udon noodles are cooking, whisk the chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, chile oil, and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking until the peanut butter has melted. Pour the sauce over the noodles. Add the chicken and red bell pepper; toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro to serve.
