Tender chicken and crisp bell pepper are tossed with silky wide rice noodles in a glossy, sweet-spicy sauce made from Thai chili sauce, spicy Szechuan paste, sweet soy glaze, and lime juice. Crunchy cabbage adds textural contrast while sesame seeds and Korean chili flakes provide the finishing touches. This stir-fry delivers potent flavors with just the right amount of heat.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  • Once water is boiling, add noodles and a large drizzle of oil to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 6-8 minutes.

  • Drain and rinse under cold water until cool, at least 30 seconds. Drizzle noodles with oil; set aside until ready to use in Step 5.

Prep
2
  • While noodles cook, wash and dry produce.
  • Quarter lime. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Halve, core, and thinly slice bell pepper into strips. 

  • In a small bowl, combine sweet soy glaze, Szechuan paste, chili sauce, 2 TBSP water (4 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lime juice.

3
  • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, chicken, a pinch of salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is lightly browned and chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Start Stir-Fry
4
  • Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, coleslaw mix, and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 4-5 minutes.

  • Add garlic-ginger scallion paste; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.

5
  • Reduce heat under pan to medium; add drained noodles, chili sauce mixture, and ½ cup water (¾ cup for 4 servings). Cook, stirring, until combined, 30-60 seconds more. TIP: If noodles stick together, break up with a spoon; if they seem dry, add another drizzle of oil.

  • Turn off heat; add chicken and onion, sesame seeds, and half the chili flakes. Toss until coated.

Serve
6
  • Divide stir-fry between shallow bowls. Garnish with as many remaining chili flakes as you like. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
