A twist on Rice Noodles

Friday night is always a drag in the kitchen...the temptation to just grab those take out menus or go to the closest restaurant is always lurking in your mind....save $ or have a treat after a hard week of work? The question remains...for stay at home mom's and working mom's and any housewife--what to eat on Friday night?

Here is a healthy, tasty alternative to eating out---rice noodles with a yummy sauce! Unforunately, our kids didn't have the same level of enjoyment that we did :-( but I enjoyed it!!!!!!! I did put my own twist on the recipe....I like to clean the refrigerator out by the end of the week and stir-fry or soup is a great, frugal and healthy way to use up those veggies so I'll probably make it different every time :-)! Add your own flare to this entree :-)

8oz of rice noodles (cook uncovered 1 minute) drain, rinse, drain again
1/2 c. creamy (all natural) PB
2 T soy sauce (
1/2tsp ground ginger or 1tsp ginger root grated
1/2 chicken boullion(I use natural boullion from Sonnewald's--No MSG!)
2 stalks green onion, sliced
2T fresh cilantro, sliced (did you know eating cilantro can flush metal out of your body?)
1 med red or green pepper sliced
1 lb chicken breast stir fried in olive oil

Now what I did was stir fry celery and pepper in olive oil and then the chicken.
I cooked the PB, soy sauce and chicken broth until warm and then served it in a separate dishes from the chicken...so this meal could be vegetarian or meat. I then layered rice noodles, sauce, chicken, veggies and topped with fresh onions and cilantro. Not exactly the way the recipe was written but it tasted good to me!

enjoy!
