    I have a soft spot for pasta, and it doesn't get much better than this Spicy Noodle Bowl. It is an easy weeknight meal that you will crave again and again. Crisp-tender veggies and juicy chicken are topped in a spicy Sriracha peanut sauce to create a flavor-packed dish that comes together in just 20 minutes.

    Mix Up Your Pasta Game with this Spicy Noodle Bowl!

    For someone for whom food is the central focus of their life, I've been pretty sheltered.

    While I grew up on a diet of delicious Southern food, it wasn't until my mid-20's that I had Chinese and Thai food for the first time.

    Like many of you, I was in my 30's before I had quinoa.

    And Brussel sprouts, asparagus, lentils and kale didn’t enter my diet until my 40’s.

    There are still many things I’ve never cooked with, and this is something I’ve been trying to correct. I saw this recipe on Facebook and realized that I’ve never tried celeriac (or celery root). Jackfruit is still a mystery to me. I’ve never had rutabaga. All things I need to try.

    Perhaps the area of the grocery store where I feel the most lost is the Asian section. All those sauces and pastes! Even the simple things are a mystery to me. I love pasta, but I’ve never once considered buying Brown Rice Pad Thai Noodles.

    I supposed it is because I consider pasta to be such a treat, and was afraid I’d be disappointed.

    So, when challenged to cook with something I had never tried before as part of this month’s Recipe Redux, I decided it was time to make an Asian Noodle Bowl.

    Truthfully, I can’t believe I was scared.

    Guys, it's just pasta.  And who doesn't enjoy a good bowl of noodles?

    This Spicy Noodle Bowl is SO good! (And easy to make - just 20 minutes!) I woke up this morning thinking about it, wishing that we still had leftovers. Sadly, we had it for lunch and dinner yesterday, and there were no leftovers to be found.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can this recipe be made ahead of time?

    Yes! This recipe is perfect for meal prep. It will keep for about three days in the refrigerator. If you wish to store it longer, I recommend leaving it untossed and storing the cooked noodles in water in the refrigerator.

    Are rice noodles gluten free?

    Yes! Rice noodles are a gluten free pasta. (But always check the labels - especially if you have celiac.)

    How to Make a Chicken Noodle Bowl Recipe

    1. Combine coconut aminos, lime just, rice vinegar, peanut butter, sesame oil, garlic, and Sriracha in a blender. Process until smooth.
    2. Cook rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
    3. While the noodles are cooking, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet to medium heat. Add broccoli and cook for two minutes. Add carrots, red pepper, and shredded chicken. Cook for 2 minutes longer.
    4. Remove from heat, and add the vegetables to the bowl with the noodles.
    5. Top with dressing and garnish with cilantro, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper flakes.

    Variations for This Recipe

    • Fresh minced ginger would be lovely in the sauce and would give this recipe an extra spicy kick.
    • Gluten free soba noodles would also work.
    • Top with Thai Basil and peanuts.
    • Use shrimp in place of chicken.

      This looks great! One of my go to dishes is peanut soba noodles with lots of veggies, but never used rice noodles with it before. And brown rice noodles to boot! Hope I can find them!

      OMG! Just yum! Used baby bok choy in place of the broccoli. I’ll definitely make this again. Great way to use a lot of veggies! The spicy peanut sauce is perfect! I can’t wait for lunch tomorrow since I saved myself some:)

      This recipe is absolutely delicious. Being vegetarian, I swapped the chicken for haloumi cheese and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended!

        OMG, I couldn't like the haloumi substitute any more!!! I think I would like that better than chicken. So glad you enjoyed this.
