3 Tbsp (45g) rice vinegar
09 -
1/4 cup (60g) low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos if preferred
10 -
2 Tbsp (28g) sesame oil
11 -
3 Tbsp (63g) honey
12 -
2 tsp (12g) sriracha hot sauce or a shake or two of cayenne (leave it out if you want it milder)
→ Optional Garnishes
13 -
Chopped green onions
14 -
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
# Instructions:
01 -
Fill a big pot with water, toss in some salt, and bring it to a rolling boil. Throw in the linguine noodles and let them cook for 6-7 minutes. Then, toss the frozen broccoli into the same pot and keep cooking everything together for 3 more minutes. Drain it all and set it aside for later.
02 -
Grab a small bowl and mix the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha (or cayenne if you're using it). Stir until it’s all combined and set the bowl aside for now.
03 -
Put a skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss in the diced chicken, garlic, and ginger, then sprinkle on a bit of salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until it’s completely cooked through and there’s no pink left. Move the pan off the heat.
04 -
Give the sauce a quick stir to make sure it's still blended. Add the drained noodles, cooked broccoli, and sauce to the skillet with the chicken. Stir everything together until the pasta is evenly covered in the sauce and everything is well combined.
05 -
Top the dish with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve it up while it's still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Store leftovers in airtight containers and keep in the fridge for as long as 4 days.
02 -
Switch out the soy sauce for tamari and use gluten-free pasta to make it gluten-free.
03 -
Swap out chicken for tofu if you want a vegetarian swap.
04 -
Fresh broccoli works here—just toss it in about 5 minutes before the pasta finishes cooking.
