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.

If you love bold, crave-worthy flavors, this Spicy Noodle Bowl with Sriracha Peanut Sauce is about to become your new favorite.
It’s quick (ready in just 20 minutes!) and packed with the kind of flavor that keeps you coming back for more.
I actually woke up this morning thinking about it, only to remember we devoured every last bite yesterday. No leftovers, no regrets!

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