Ingredients

Base

  • 16 oz Fiber Gourmet Light Spaghetti

  • lb chicken breast or shrimp, cooked and cooled

  • 1 sliced English cucumber

  • 1 thinly sliced bell pepper

  • Thinly sliced scallion

  • 4 thinly sliced and seeded jalapeños

  • ⅓ cup crushed roasted peanuts

  • 1 cup mung bean sprouts or thinly sliced napa cabbage

  • Sesame seeds, cilantro, Thai basil, or mint for garnish

  • 1 fresh lime, cut into wedges for serving

Dressing

  • 4 tbsp dark soy sauce

  • 2 tbsp sriracha or sambal

  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil

  • Juice from 3 fresh limes

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter

  • 2 tbsp Wholesome Yum honey

  • 1 clove garlic

  • ½-inch ginger, grated or thin sliced

  • 2–3 tbsp warm water

Steps

  1. Cook the noodles

  2. Prepare the protein

    • Grill, sauté, or poach the chicken or shrimp until cooked through. Cool slightly before adding.

  3. Make the dressing

    • Blend or whisk all dressing ingredients until smooth and emulsified. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

  4. Combine and finish

    • Add noodles, protein, and vegetables to the bowl.

    • Toss gently to coat evenly.

    • Top with peanuts, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs.

    • Serve cold or at room temperature with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • You can easily add more chicken or shrimp if you prefer a higher-protein ratio — this recipe is intentionally flexible and stays balanced across variations.
