Asian Chicken Noodle Bowl #recipe #eMeals
We’ve been eating a lot of comfort food the past several weeks (months?) The weather has been so cold, and when it’s so cold, I reach for the carbs. This next week is supposed to be nicer (warmer – maybe even 60s one day!) and we’re planning several days of salad. Our waistlines will thank us later…we hope.
We tried this eMeals recipe last week on one of our snow days. It’s from the budget friendly menu and it was a total hit. There’s a good balance of vegetables and noodles. I actually used about half of the pasta that it called for (and used a lot more vegetables.)

Asian Chicken Noodle Bowl
Ingredients
- 12 oz thin spaghetti, broken in half
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup beef broth, made with bouillon
- 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 (16-oz) pkg frozen stir-fry blend with sugar snap peas
- 3 cooked chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro OR 3 tsp dried cilantro
Instructions
Cook spaghetti according to package directions; drain and keep warm, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Whisk together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, broth, vinegar, sesame oil and honey. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sauce mixture and vegetables to pan; toss and cook 3-4 minutes or until thoroughly heated. The vegetables should be crisp-tender. Add chicken to skillet and heat thoroughly. Combine chicken mixture with hot cooked pasta in pasta pot; toss. Stir in cilantro and reserved pasta water, if needed.
It took me roughly 30 minutes from start to table. My husband has asked if we can make it again. I think that means it was a success.

That looks really good. I am a huge fan of Asian food, so I know I would love it.
Looks delicious. Sounds simple. I’d switch out the broth to chicken so I can eat it, but it sounds perfect otherwise.
I’m even cooking with ginger these days … who AM I?
You are a shadow of your former self. 😉 I might try it with chicken broth (since that’s what I normally have on hand.) I don’t know how much that would change the flavor, but it might be worth it!
Your Noodle Bowl looks delicious. I like to bulk up on the veggies, too. I hopped over from I’m an Organizing Junkie. Have a great day!
Thanks for stopping by! And, yes, bulking up on the vegetables is SO big! Makes me feel better about the pasta.
dinner looks delicious!!
That looks absolutely delicious. I LOVE the flavors of Asian food. ALL Asian food. Chinese, Japanese, Korean… It’s all awesome.

I am in a total stir fry mode! I’ve never made anything like this before and you make it look so easy!
Looks nice and quick to whip up. I’m actually wishing I had that for dinner tonight.
I didn’t see this one come through.. what plan is it on? I LOVE asian food.
This looks so good. I love Asian inspired meals.

I love noodles from Asian restaurants but am always afraid to try and make them at home, You made it look so easy!
I think I would love this recipe! It sounds like it was a hit at your place too! I love when a new recipe becomes a favorite!
The noodles look good, and would be a nice change from my regular staple of rice. I also love sugar snap peas!
That looks SO good – and I love that it only took about 30 minutes. But my youngest is allergic to soy, so this is out for us. 🙁
I have not had Asian food in a long time. This dish sure looks god
Finding a meal that all of my children will eat is a challenge. These noodles would be a hit with my entire family. And I’d love knowing they had some veggies!
Yum. I haven’t ever tried anything like this! Looks absolutely delicious! Yummy. My husband would be all about this!
Wow, your meal plan looks and sounds delicious! I am loving that you have such unique dishes planned. I tend to stick with the same old boring stuff.

This looks fabulous. Love noodle dinners.
That looks yummy! That spring salad sound good, too!
Minus the soy sauce which makes me blow up like a balloon I would truly enjoy this dish. I do like Asian foods and spices although they don’t always like me.
I’ve been in the mood for pasta for a couple of days now. This dish looks really good too!
that looks great. i was looking at emails the other day and will have to go back and look again. very cool!
I never make Asian food – this looks really easy and sounds tasty
My husband loves Asian food. Its his favorite. I let him cook it. He makes a huge production and it takes him hours to cook.
That looks delicious! I love those little corn in Asian inspired meals and those noodles are some of my favorite.
My littlest one would love this. She loves eating all of her dad’s asian noodle dishes.
These noodles to look so yummy. I never knew that you could make chinese from spaghetti.
