Asian noodles with Chicken in peanut sauce

I have read through many recipes for this and came up with it a few months ago.
It is extraordinarily delicious,  Dave and I get very excited when it comes up on the menu plan.

I used Rice Noodles in this version -Super yum


The Sauce
Mix together in a bowl
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 heaping tablespoons sugar
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp garlic 
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup chopped peanuts
Cayenne pepper to taste ( I just use a small sprinkle)

All of these measurements can be adjusted for your taste. 
Using a whisk combine all ingredients and set in fridge

Ingredients for the dish
2-3 chicken breasts slightly thawed and cut into very thin slices
3 cups chopped cabbage (I prefer purple)
4-5 shredded carrots
2 green onions chopped very small
1 cup bean sprouts (optional)
1 box of angel hair pasta or a box of regular spaghetti in a pinch will work
* Note - You could also use Rice Noodles that are available in the Asian Foods Section at most stores

Boil water, and follow cooking directions for your noodles

In a wok swirl some olive oil to coat pan. 
Add your chicken and begin to work around in pan. 
I like to add some salt, garlic and ginger when cooking the chicken. I love the taste. 
When your chicken is almost cooked. Add in your veggies. 
Cook for about 10 minutes or until the veggies are soft. 

Add the sauce and cook it down on medium heat. 
Add all to your noodles and allow to sit and combine. 
Top with chopped peanuts and thinly sliced green onion. 
This is amazing!  
It is just as good as take out, if you make it correctly
