Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- 2Season the chicken all over with the salt. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken and cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
- 3Combine the peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated garlic, vinegar, curry paste, ginger and brown sugar in a skillet; whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the coconut milk. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 4Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, peanuts, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce (if using), the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and remaining ½ teaspoon garlic.
- 5Divide the noodles between 6 shallow bowls. Top with the chicken and green bean tomato salad. Serve the peanut sauce over the chicken and garnish with the crushed peanuts and cilantro.
