Substitutions & Variations (Low FODMAP–friendly)

• For noodles, choose rice noodles or gluten-free udon, or opt for lighter options like zucchini noodles or shirataki, keeping portions to your usual tolerance.

• For protein swaps, use shrimp or firm/extra-firm tofu (well-drained and pressed) in the same method, both of which are Low FODMAP proteins.

• For vegetables, rotate in bok choy, zucchini coins, mung bean sprouts, or green beans, aiming for typical portions you tolerate well.

• For heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or plain chili oil (no garlic solids) at the table if the spice sits well with you.

Tips For the Best Peanut Chicken Noodles

• Slice the chicken thinly and across the grain so it cooks quickly and stays tender.

• Choose a smooth, natural peanut butter made from just peanuts, no added sugar! 

• Reserve a few tablespoons of the noodle cooking water. Its starch helps the peanut sauce turn glossy and cling to noodles without thinning flavor.

• If the sauce needs a lift, add a little lime zest or an extra squeeze of lime instead of sweeteners to keep it Low FODMAP and bright.

Serving suggestions

• Set out lime wedges, chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, cilantro, and sliced green tops of scallions so everyone can finish their bowl to taste.

• Add a side of Asian oyster mushroom salad for a bright, Low FODMAP crunch.

• Pair with crispy tofu lettuce wraps for a fresh, protein-packed bite.

• A light citrus salad makes a fresh, palate-cleansing dessert that pairs well with the savory peanut sauce.
