Instructions
- 1. Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain.
- 2. To make the peanuts. Heat the 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon honey, the peanuts, sesame seeds, and chili flakes in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until lightly toasted and caramelized, 3-4 minutes. Watch closely. Spoon the peanuts out of the skillet onto a parchment-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Set aside.
- 3. To make the sauce. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup honey, the soy sauce, fish sauce, curry paste, and ketchup.
- 4. Wipe the skillet clean. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken, season with pepper, and brown all over, until it becomes crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, cook another 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. Pour in 1/3 of the sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sauce coats the chicken, 2-3 minutes. Add the zucchini and bell peppers, cook another 5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened. Pour in the remaining sauce and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the noodles, basil, and cilantro. Toss to combine, cooking another 5 minutes until the sauce coats the noodles.
- 5. Serve the noodles topped with sesame peanuts, additional basil, and lime juice.
