Nutty Chicken Noodles image

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 Chicken stock cube
1 Chicken breast
1 tablespoon Crunchy peanut butter
1 teaspoon Reduced salt soy sauce (or dark soy)
1 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional)
1 Lime
1 clove Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Grated root ginger
1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
1 Red pepper
1 Small white onion (or shallot if you have one)
1 Small carrot
1/2 teaspoon Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Chopped fresh chilli
50 grams Rice noodles (or egg noodles)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat about 750ml of water in a saucepan, with a lid, then crumble in and dissolve the optional stock cube.
  • 2. Cut any fat from the chicken breast and lower into the water once it's just below boiling. Just below boiling should be when tiny bubbles start to form on the bottom of the pan and a few make their way to the surface, but there isn't too much movement. Keep the water/stock just below boiling and poach gently for 15 minutes.
  • 3. Mix the peanut butter, soy, sesame oil, juice of the lime, grated clove of garlic, grated ginger and cracked black pepper in a small bowl or cup and add a couple of tablespoons of the poaching chicken stock to create a sauce the consistency of thick soup.
  • 4. Deseed the pepper and cut into thin strips. Chop the chilli as small as possible, removing the seeds.
  • 5. Peel and finely slice the onion, then peel and cut the carrot into thin strips. The best way to cut the carrot is to peel it into thin strips with a potato peeler, then line those strips up and slice fine strips with a sharp, straight-edged knife.
  • 6. Boil a kettle full of water and place the rice noodles in a bowl, then pour enough of the boiling water onto the noodles to cover them and leave for 3 minutes.
  • 7. Add the ½ tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large frying pan, saucepan or wok and heat over a high heat. Add the prepared pepper, onion and carrot all at once and stir-fry for 2 minutes, keeping everything moving in the pan, then mix in the chopped chilli.
  • 8. Drain the noodles in a sieve, then add to the pan of veg along with the sauce and toss everything to combine. Transfer onto a serving plate.
  • 9. Pluck the chicken out of the water, check that it's cooked right through by cutting in half and making sure that the thickest part has no pink bits. Cut or tear the chicken up as soon as it's cool enough to handle and pile onto the noodles.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this recipe did not turn out well for me. I won't be trying it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and the noodles were overcooked.

I wouldn't recommend this recipe. It was a lot of work and the end result was not worth it.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to adjust the recipe to make it more to my liking.

Not bad, but I think I would have liked it better with a different type of noodle.

This nutty chicken noodle dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The nutty flavor from the sesame seeds and peanuts added a delicious touch.
