Spicy Thai Noodles w/ Chicken and Veggies

[The Shepherd]

I've made these noodles many times. This is a healthy and tasty dish, very colourful and easy to make. It is spicy though not hot.

1/2 pound dried rice noodles
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
A few blub-blubs of soy sauce

Like that kinda peanut sauce?

Also I googled blub-blubs it seems to bring up a bunch of UK stuff.
What is a blub blub?

Sounds like a really good recipe. Just not 100% sure what you mean by the peanut suace. can you buy it in a jar or do you make it like the recipe I listed?


Edit.., ahhh found it....


premade peanut sauce.

P.S what kind of mushrooms?

[The Shepherd]

I just use regular mushrooms, you could use Chitakes or other wild mushrooms. Actually it would be good with Chitakes. That's the good thing about cooking, experimentation is good.

A blub-blub is more than a dash, not quite an all out pour. It's like mixing drinks, if you are making a rye and coke you go with a few good blub-blubs of rye. It's one of those intangible measurements.

Here's the sauces, I have a pretty good sized grocery store near me, they carry peanut sauce.



Edit - I know how to spell the mushroom, the language filter won't allow the proper spelling.
