Instructions

Prep
1

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Roughly chop peanuts. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Quarter lime.

Cook Noodles
2

• Once water is boiling, add noodles to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 5-7 minutes, then drain.

Toast Peanuts
3

• While noodles cook, heat a large dry pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Cook Onion & Chicken
4

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occassionally, until beginning to soften, 1-2 minutes. • Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Add chicken and scallion whites to pan; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened and chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

Finish Lo Mein
5

• Add coleslaw mix and tamarind sauce to pan with chicken mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender, 2-3 minutes more. • Add drained noodles, half the toasted peanuts, and a squeeze of lime juice (big squeeze for 4 servings); toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Serve
6

• Divide chicken lo mein between shallow bowls; top with scallion greens and remaining peanuts. Serve with Sriracha and remaining lime wedges on the side.

Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
