Thai Chicken Noodle Bowl

This recipe is from Martha Stewart & it was very tasty! Nicely seasoned chicken sautéed & then served over cold rice noodles &  vegetables!

This is very quick to make because most of the vegetables are sliced & served fresh… I sautéed a red pepper after cooking the chicken in the same pan. The noodles are soaked in hot water until soft… I used a potato starch noodle but you can use a rice noodle… or any instant noodle you prefer.

There is a marinade to make first, then the chicken is marinated for about 30 minutes or longer & you can prepare the rest of the ingredients while the chicken is marinating.

Here it the recipe  I only added a sautéed pepper & changed the type of noodle I used from the original recipe.

4 green onions ( scallions), thinly sliced

Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!
