Soba noodles, chicken, broccoli slaw, red pepper and peanuts over a coconut peanut satay sauce. Makes four jars.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover chicken (can be rotisserie)
  • 1/2 (363 g) package soba noodles
  • 2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup roasted salted peanut halves
  • Fresh chopped cilantro or basil (optional, to serve)

Satay Sauce

  • 1/2 can full fat coconut milk (about 3/4 cup)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp dried ginger

Directions

  • Cook the soba noodles following the package directions (usually 2 minutes in boiling water). Whisk the satay sauce ingredients together. Pour the sauce into the bottom of a 950mL mason jar, then add the leftover chicken.
  • If you are using fresh chicken rather than leftovers, saute four medium chicken cutlets (or two medium chicken breasts cut in half) in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium-high heat for 7-8 minutes on each side. Cut into bite-sized pieces and carry on.
  • Put the broccoli slaw, red pepper and soba noodles into the jar. Finish each jar with green onions and peanuts.
  • When you are ready to eat, shake the jar to spread the sauce, then pour into a large, deep bowl. Add cilantro or basil on top if you like.

Notes

Keep refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below.
Keep in the fridge 4-5 days. Safety: contains cooked chicken; keep at 40 F or below and eat within 1 to 2 days.
