Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering and preparing all the necessary ingredients. Chop the green onions, gingerroot, garlic, cauliflower florets, green and red peppers, and baby bok choy. Zest and juice the lime.
-
Cook Noodles: In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 6-7 minutes or until al dente. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
-
Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the tamari, seasoned rice vinegar, chili sauce, lime zest, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Set the sauce aside.
-
Cook Chicken and Vegetables: Heat cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped green onions, gingerroot, garlic, cauliflower florets, green and red peppers to the wok. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Add Ground Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the wok, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
-
Combine Sauce and Cooked Chicken: Pour the prepared sauce into the wok with the cooked chicken and vegetables. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Add Bok Choy: Add the baby bok choy to the wok and stir to combine with the chicken and vegetables. Cover the wok and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the bok choy is tender but still vibrant green.
-
Incorporate Noodles: Once the bok choy is tender, add the cooked noodles to the wok. Gently toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and mixed with the chicken and vegetables.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If desired, add additional tamari for more flavor.
-
Serve: Transfer the Asian-style ground chicken and noodles to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with additional chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious and satisfying meal with your loved ones! 🍽️
