Ingredients

\n
• 200 g whole‑wheat or buckwheat pad keep noodles (or zucchini noodles)
\n
• 150 g skin‑less chicken breast or tofu, cut into bite‑sized pieces
\n
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
\n
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
\n
• 1 cup snow peas
\n
• 1 cup broccoli florets
\n
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
\n
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
\n
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
\n
• 2 tablespoons soy‑nut sauce (or tamari) with 1 tsp erythritol
\n
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
\n
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional for depth)
\n
• 1 tablespoon chia‑seed oil or extra‑virgin olive oil
\n
• 1-2 red chili slices or 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust heat)
\n
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
\n
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
\n

Instructions

\n
1. Prep the noodles: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook al dente (about 3-5 min). Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
\n
2. Marinate protein: In a small bowl, combine the chicken or tofu with 1 teaspoon soy‑nut sauce and a pinch of ground black pepper. Let sit for 5 min.
\n
3. Heat the pan: Warm the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and chili, sautéing until aromatic, about 30 s.
\n
4. Sear the protein: Add the marinated protein to the pan and cook until golden and cooked through, 4-6 min for chicken, 3-4 min for tofu. Remove and set aside.
\n
5. Veggies: In the same pan, toss in the onion, bell peppers, broccoli, and snow peas. Stir‑fry 3‑4 min until crisp‑tender.
\n
6. Combine everything: Return the protein to the pan, then add the noodles, soy‑nut sauce, lime juice, fish sauce (if using), and a splash of water. Toss everything together and cook for another 1‑2 min so flavors meld.
\n
7. Finish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime over the top. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side.

Health Tip

Using whole‑wheat or buckwheat noodles keeps the dish high in fiber and promotes satiety, while the raw broccoli and bell peppers deliver antioxidants and vitamin C. The chili not only adds zing but also stimulates thermogenesis, helping your body burn more calories after the meal.

etc. The spec says use h2, p, ul, ol, li, strong, em. They didn't mention h3 but it's fine. Use correct tags.\n\nWe need JSON containing that string as content.\n\nAdd prep_time integer 15, cook_time 10.\n\nEnsure proper escaping of quotes in JSON. Use double quotes for keys. The content string must escape newlines? Not required; can leave actual newlines. But JSON string may contain line breaks. It's okay as long as properly quoted. Use \\n? Better to keep plain newlines but JSON needs them inside string; it's allowed. However many JSON parsers allow newline characters inside string if properly escaped as \\n. But easier to just put them as \\n. I'll put newlines as actual line breaks? The answer likely auto-escaped by system. But safer to use \\n characters. Let's inline without actual newlines? Use single line string but includes \\n? less ambiguous. I can include \\n in string representation. Let's create content string with line breaks encoded as \\n. Example: \"
