The 8yr and I prepared this. Fairly easy and quick. Used Udon noodles. There is something missing from this recipe. It has potential, but I would rather it taste great the first time. Maybe use prepared peanut sauce as well and garlic. We all three agree, won't be making this again.
Chicken-Peanut Chow Mein
Chow mein noodles are often labeled chuka soba. If you can't find them in the Asian section of the supermarket, substitute spaghetti or linguine. Chop and measure ingredients while you wait for water to boil.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups noodle mixture, 1/4 cup onions, and 1 1/2 teaspoons peanuts)
