Directions
  1. 1
    Slice chicken breast into thin long strips
  2. 2
    Sprinkle the chicken with baking soda and massage into the chicken. Pour cold water over the chicken and stir to dissolve baking soda. Let sit for approximately 15 minutes then drain the liquid and briefly rinse the chicken with cold water to remove excess baking soda.
  3. 3
    Marinate chicken with soy sauce, rice vinegar, white pepper
  4. 4
    Slice red bell pepper and red onion into thin slices and cut up broccoli
  5. 5
    Heat a wok on high-medium heat for 2-3 minutes then add in 1-2 tbsp of any high smoke point oil. Allow about 30 seconds for the oil to get hot.
  6. 6
    Toss chopped vegetables into the wok, season lightly with salt and stir-fry on high heat for 2-4 minutes. For crunchier veggies, cook a little less and for softer veggies, cook a little longer. Remove veggies from the pan once cooked to your liking.
  7. 7
    In the same pan, add another 1-2 tbsp if needed and fry up the chicken. This should take 3-6 minutes depending on how thinly the chicken is sliced. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan.
  8. 8
    Next, sauté minced garlic, ginger, gochugaru red pepper powder, and curry powder for 30-60 seconds.
  9. 9
    To the pan, add peanut butter, coconut milk, chicken bouillon, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, gochujang hot sauce, and water. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
  10. 10
    Bring the curry peanut sauce up to a simmer then add in udon noodles and cooked chicken. Cover and simmer on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes or until udon noodles are cooked according to package instructions. Add the veggies in the last minute of cooking and stir everything to combine.
  11. 11
    Garnish with crushed peanuts and lime wedges for extra acidity.
