Peanut chicken noodles
This elevates the humble stir fry to a smart but dead easy dinner dish
Difficulty and servings
Serves 4
Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 30 mins
- Crush the peanuts, chillies, lime zest, garlic, a small handful of coriander leaves, ginger and 1/2 tsp salt using a pestle and mortar or blitz in a food processor. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan, tip in the peanut paste and stir fry for about a minute.
- Add the chicken and turn the heat up a bit so the chicken sizzles. Stir fry until the chicken begins to turn golden at the edges. Chuck in the pak choi stems and red pepper slices and stir fry for a minute. Pour in the ketchap manis and lime juice and let it bubble for a couple of minutes. Add the noodles and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until hot. Stir in the pak choi leaves until just wilted, then add the rest of the coriander.
Know-how
Bump up the vegetables by adding 100g shiitake mushrooms and 1 bunch sliced spring onions to the mix. Serve in Asian-style bowls with chopsticks.
