Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounce(s) soba noodles
1 tablespoon(s) canola oil
1 tablespoon(s) sesame oil
2 large chicken breasts, cubed
1 1/2 cup(s) red onions, thinly sliced and cut in half
1 1/2 cup(s) red peppers, seeded, ribs removed, thinly sliced
1 1/2 cup(s) carrots, thinly sliced and cut in third
2 cup(s) purple cabbage, thinly sliced and cut in half
1 1/2 cup(s) peanut sauce
1/4 cup(s) peanuts, coarsely chopped, for garnish

Steps:

In a large pot of boiling water (no salt), add noodles and cook for 3 to 3 ½ minutes. Drain in the colander before transferring them in a large bowl filled with very cold water. Swirl them around to dislodge starch, preventing them from getting gummy.
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add canola oil and sesame oil. When hot, add chicken breasts; season and sauté until no longer pink. Using a spider strainer or slotted spoon, transfer cubed chicken to a bowl; set aside.
Back to saucepan; reduce heat to medium and add onions, peppers, carrots and cabbage; sauté until just soft about 3 to 4 minutes.
Drain noodles from the cold water bowl and transfer them to a bowl filled with very hot (not boiling) water to warm up.
Return chicken to skillet; sauté to heat through. Add warm soba noodles and pour in peanut sauce; stir until well mixed. Spoon mixture into bowls and garnish with coarsely chopped peanuts.
