Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 125g / 4 oz medium egg noodles, (chow mein noodles)
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
  • 1/4 head cabbage, sliced thinly (1.5 cups)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 3 green onion, cut into 2 inch pieces plus 1 onion for serving
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp smooth peanut butter, heaped
  • 3 tbsp hot water
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar, or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp dried chilli flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, mix the sauce ingredients and set aside until needed.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a wok. Add the chicken seasoned with salt, cooking while stirring until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining vegetable oil to the wok. Stir fry the grated ginger and minced garlic briefly, then add carrots and cabbage. Stir fry on high heat for 5 minutes until slightly browned but still crunchy.
  5. Add the cooked noodles, chicken, green onions, and pour the peanut sauce over the top. Mix to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with Chinese chilli oil on the side.

Leftover peanut sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for later use.
Add more vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added nutrition.
