Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    There are many new peanut sauces on the market. Find the one you enjoy most and keep it on hand for quick meals.
  • tip 2
    Try making this noodle dish with shrimp or 1/2-inch cubes of firm tofu instead of the chicken breast strips.
  • tip 3
    For extra peanut flavor and crunch, sprinkle the finished dish with roasted or salted peanuts.
