Ingredients

Noodles & Chicken
	•	3 packs Trader Joe’s Squiggly Knife-Cut Noodles (discard seasoning packets)
	•	1½ lbs chicken breast, thinly sliced
	•	1 tbsp neutral oil, divided
	•	½ tsp salt
	•	¼ tsp black pepper

Vegetables
	•	1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
	•	6 oz snap peas
	•	4 garlic cloves, minced
	•	¼ tsp salt
	•	2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Creamy Sesame Sauce
	•	⅔ cup low-sodium soy sauce
	•	1½ cups water
	•	¼ cup sugar
	•	2 tbsp honey
	•	½ tbsp sesame oil
	•	1 tbsp rice vinegar
	•	⅓ cup tahini
	•	2 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for thickening)

For Serving
	•	Sesame seeds
	•	Green onions
	•	Chili crisp (optional)

Instructions
	1.	Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse lightly with cool water. Set aside.
	2.	In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, sugar, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and tahini until smooth.
	3.	Heat ½ tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and fully cooked through. Remove from the pan.
	4.	Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté the bell pepper and snap peas for about 3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant.
	5.	Pour in the sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until slightly thickened.
	6.	Add the chicken back to the pan, then toss in the cooked noodles. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy garlic sesame sauce.
	7.	Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Add chili crisp if desired. Serve warm.
