Ingredients

1.5 lbs chicken breasts, cut into small cubes (about 3 breasts)
1 shallot, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, diced
1/2 cup cashews, chopped
3 sweet potatoes, spiralized into noodles
3 tbsp sesame oil, divided
2 eggs
Salt and pepper

1/4 cup cashew butter
1/4 cup coconut aminos
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 lime juice of

Instructions

First, make the sauce by combining all of the sauce ingredients into a small bowl or jar and whisking well. The sauce will be thick, but mix it up as much as you can to get a creamy consistency. Set aside.

Chop chicken as noted. Chop shallot, garlic, green onions, cilantro and cashews.

Turn sweet potatoes into noodles using a spiralizer.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in 2 tbsp sesame oil. Once hot, add the sweet potato noodles. Toss with oil and season with a big pinch of salt and pepper (about 1/2 tsp each). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender but not too soft, about 6-7 minutes. Remove and place on a plate.

In the same pan over medium heat, add in 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Add in shallot and garlic to saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
