My 18-month-old grandson loves these noodles with peanut sauce. I noticed that he slurped them up whenever we ordered them while dining out, so I decided that they should be easy to make for my overworked, mother-of-two daughter. And I wanted to make sure that the chicken would stay crispy and that the peanut sauce would be just spicy enough for kids and adults.
This recipe is best made by preparing the ingredients ahead of time. That means marinating the chicken pieces in the soy sauce-cornstarch dip and making the peanut sauce and noodles in advance so the dish is Seriously Simple to put together. I prefer low-sodium soy sauce to avoid oversalting the dish.
