A tasty bowl of noodles with moist chicken thigh meat and and Asian-inspired sauce all come tonight in just 20 minutes. A one-bowl meal, this dish can also be made with leftover noodles for an even faster preparation. A weeknight win, any leftovers make a terrific take-along lunch the day after. Toss in shredded carrots or chopped bell peppers for added texture and color. Remove the cilantro if you get a soapy taste when you eat it. Sub in leftover pork, beef or shrimp for an easy variation.
