4 servings quart jar 8 oz spaghetti noodles, broken in half 1 cup diced chicken 1/2 cup green beans 1/2 cup red bell peppers, broken in smaller pieces 2 Tbsp soy sauce powder 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce powder 2 Tbsp umami powder (I just powdered up some of our mushrooms) 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar powder 1/2 tsp Goya Adobo seasoning OR 1/2 tsp garlic powder, salt & pepper 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon 1/2 tsp paprika 1 Tbsp FD ginger 3 Tbsp peanut butter powder 2 Tbsp brown sugar 2 Tbsp FD cilantro 1 Tbsp green onions 1 Tbsp FD garlic + 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes if not using the chili crisp oil (recipe below) oxygen absorber
  • you'll also need 1-2 tsp sesame oil and 2-3 Tbsp chili crisp
To Prepare: Empty contents of jar into a large pot or Dutch oven. Add 4 1/2 cups water and stir gently. Bring to a boil over med high heat. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat to med low and cover. Simmer for 12-15 mins. Stir every 5 mins. Taste test the pasta to check for tenderness. Add 1/2 cup water and cook longer if necessary. Add 1-2 tsp sesame oil and 2-3 Tbsp chili crisp and stir to incorporate. Taste the sauce and adjust if necessary. Garnish with chopped peanuts, scallions, and fresh cilantro as well as a drizzle of chili crisp. Enjoy! Chili Crisp Oil Heat about 1/2 cup avocado oil on the stove and pour into a half-pint jar containing: (I usually place the jar in the kitchen sink) 2 Tbsp TL chopped onions 1 Tbsp TL garlic 1 Tbsp red bell peppers blended into a powder 1 Tbsp mushrooms blended into a powder 1 tsp paprika 1-2 tsp red pepper flakes 1/2 Tbsp course salt (I used a combinatio of kosher and flaky sea salt) Stir VERY carefully.
