red curry peanut noodles

i found this recipe today on the chatelaine website
and it looked & sounded so good

so, after work i went and got the ingredients i was missing at home and supper was made & ready by the time Michael got home

it turned out really well, but VERY SPICY
if you don't like spicy food then you will definitely need to modify this one (lessen the curry paste basically)
i love spicy. i love using chop sticks
i love peanut sauces
and any dish with chicken

so, here it is

try it and enjoy!

red curry peanut noodles

ingredients:

1/2 500g pkg spaghetti
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup water
3 tbsp thai red-curry paste (if you don't like spicy, i'd only use 1 tbsp at most)
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
1 head broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces

directions:

1. cook pasta, following the package directions.
2. meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk peanut butter with 1/4 cup water, curry paste, soy sauce and honey (don't worry if it's lumpy - it will melt when cooked)
3. ladle out 1/2 cup pasta water and add to sauce
4. heat a large frying pan over medium-high. add oil, then onion and chicken. stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink, 4 minutes.
5. add peanut butter mixture and reduce heat to medium. stir frequently until chicken is cooked, about 2 minutes.
6. add broccoli to pasta & water for the last minute of pasta cooking time.
7. drain pasta and broccoli, then return to pot. stir in chicken mixture until combined.
8. top with chopped peanuts
9. enjoy!
