This recipe is from Gail Simmons, a culinary expert and a permanent judge on the award-winning show, Top Chef.  My mom found Gail’s recipe on KitchenDaily.com and you can even watch a video clip of her preparing this dish here!  It honestly looks simple!

Ingredients

    • SPICY PEANUT SAUCE:
    • 1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
    • 4 garlic cloves minced
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
    • 2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce
    • 3 tablespoons honey
    • 1/2 cup all-natural Krema Creamy PB
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup hot water
    • CHICKEN AND NOODLES:
    • 4 cups shredded chicken from a whole roasted deli-chicken
    • 1/2 pound dried buckwheat soba noodles
    • GREEN SALAD:
    • 1/2 hothouse cucumber, thinly sliced
    • 3 ribs of celery, thinly sliced on the bias
    • 1 cup cilantro leaves
    • 2-3 scallions, finely sliced on the bias

Directions

SPICY PEANUT SAUCE:
In a small sauté pan heat sesame oil and add garlic and ginger to gently fry until fragrant – about 1 minute. Pour into a blender and add all remaining sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth adding more hot water if necessary to achieve a rich saucy consistency.

CHICKEN AND NOODLES:
Cook soba noodles according to packet directions then drain and pour into a large mixing bowl. Add 4 cups of shredded chicken meat and dress with spicy peanut sauce. Use tongs to work sauce into chicken and noodles gently.

GREEN SALAD:
In a small mixing bowl combine cucumber, cilantro and scallions. Toss gently to combine.

Divide noodle mix evenly amongst bowls and top with a handful of green salad.

Here at Krema Products we sell a variety of different Nut Butters – one of which is our Almond Butter.  What are the two ingredients you wonder??  Well, Almonds (obviously) and a little natural Peanut Oil!  That’s it!  No added salt or sugar or hydrogenated oils….just YUMMMMMM!!!

How To Make the “Almond Butter Dream” Sammy :

Spread Krema Products Almond Butter onto your favorite bakery fresh or homemade healthy bread.
Slice your 1/2 an apple and lay slices onto the Almond Butter.
Spread a natural sweetener (such as Apricot Jam, Apple Butter, or Pumpkin Butter – shown here) onto the other slice of bread.
Sprinkle with a hint of cinnamon.
Top with some ooey gooey honey or agave nectar.
Combine the two slices and Enjoy!!
