Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using antibiotic free chicken, pat dry and cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pat chicken dry and season all over with half the Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse; reserve remaining for chicken-vegetable mixture), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken and Vegetables

    Place a large pot over medium heat and add 4 tsp. olive oil.

    Add chicken, carrots, 1/4 tsp. salt, and remaining Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse) to hot pot. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Stir in cabbage until slightly wilted, 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Noodles

    Stir noodles into hot pot. Cover and stir occasionally until noodles are heated through, 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Finish Dish

    In a mixing bowl, whisk or vigorously combine peanut butter, teriyaki sauce, sweet chili sauce, and garlic salt until smooth.

    Whisk in 1/2 cup water until smooth.

    Add sauce to hot pot. Stir occasionally until noodles are coated and sauce is heated through, 2-3 minutes.

    If sauce is too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping noodles with sesame seeds. Bon appétit!
