01
Step 1
Start by making the dressing: combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons of chicken broth in a blender or food processor. Blend everything until smooth, then taste and season with salt and pepper. If the dressing feels too thick, just add a little more chicken broth or water to loosen it up.

Step 2
Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine until it’s just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, then drain and transfer it to a big mixing bowl.

Step 3
Toss in the cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced green onions, chopped red pepper, celery, and fresh cilantro with the noodles. Pour the peanut-ginger dressing over everything and mix well so all the ingredients get coated nicely.

How to serve
