Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) ready-to-serve vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 package (16 ounces) fresh (refrigerated) stir-fry vegetables
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked fine egg noodles (3 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 3 tablespoons cream of coconut or coconut milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic and gingerroot in skillet 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is crisp-tender.
  • 2
    Stir in broth, soy sauce and vegetables. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook about 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • 3
    Stir in noodles. Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost absorbed.
  • 4
    Beat peanut butter, half-and-half, cream of coconut and red pepper, using wire whisk, until smooth. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Sprinkle with peanuts.

  • If cream of coconut is not available, increase the half-and-half to 1/3 cup and sprinkle the finished dish with peanuts and coconut. For added coconut flavor, toast the coconut. Sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut in an ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 6 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently, until browning begins, then stir constantly until golden brown.
  • Add 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4-inch pieces, with the onion in step 1. Cook until chicken is not longer pink. Continue as directed.
