Directions

  1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Place in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.

  5. Leaving any browned bits in the pan, transfer to a plate. Set aside and keep warm.
  6. In small bowl, whisk together, honey, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, and water to make sauce.
  7. Add a little more oil to the pan and once hot, add the beaten eggs. Scramble the eggs, breaking them into small pieces with a spatula as they cook.
  8. Add zucchini, carrots, pre-cooked rice noodles, and chicken back to the pan, pour sauce over and toss to coat.
  9. Toss in bean sprouts and cabbage: Cook 2 to 3 minutes more.
