Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken – a quick and easy Asian Noodle stir fry made with pantry ingredients you can have on the table in minutes!
We have a slight obsession with Asian flavors around here. Kung Pao Chicken is one of our favorite because I can mix up the veggies however we want. Plus it packs some heat, and we likes things spicy (you can totally control the heat, we just add extra). So these Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken are kind of a staple at our house.
These are similar to Garlic Beef Noodle Bowls were we usually have everything on hand. So even on a super busy night, you can have a home cooked meal on the table in minutes. A trick to make this dinner even fast? Pick up a rotisserie chicken on the way home from work and you are ready even faster!
These spicy asian noodles with chicken use rice sticks for the noodles. You can buy them at pretty much any major grocery store these days. They are just down the aisle with the rest of the Asian food. And they “cook” in minutes. You don’t even have to really cook them. You just let them soak for about 8-10 minutes in warm water to soften.
So while the noodles are getting ready, you make the rest. Super quick. I like to measure all of the ingredients ahead of time, so I am ready to go. One thing about a lot of Asian recipes, is they come together fast. So if you can have your sauce mixture ready, you will save time and be less stressed while actually cooking.
My husband likes to add more heat to these spicy Asian noodles with chicken. So I always serve with a bottle of sriracha on the table. They do have a little kick on their own, but you can adjust the chili garlic paste up or down if you want to change the heat level for your family.
