Thai Peanut Chicken Bowls

Well, that was tasty.
What you’re looking at is a a bowl of caramelized peanut chicken, on a tangled bed of vermicelli noodles, with some herbs and cucumber salad, topped with more of that peanut sauce.
After what has felt like a kind of long rut of post-holiday life / overwhelm / meh cooking, my first bite of this just woke me up inside. It revived me in just the right way.
Second of all, and related – have you seen the Trader Joe’s Peanut Satay Sauce? It’s your ticket to making this stupidly easy. It’s delicious, thick, creamy, and mild enough for 4 out of 4 of our little family to love it. You should buy a jar and make this.
We have noodles. We have caramelized bites of chicken. We have fresh mint, little jars of sauce, and flavor joy.
Let’s have a big bowl of noodles / chicken / peanut sauce / salad and remember that we’re going to be okay.

- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion (about 1/4 an onion)

Noodles and Toppers
- 4 ounces vermicelli noodles
- a few tablespoons of crushed peanuts
- a few sprigs of herbs – I like mint, cilantro, and basil
