Number of servings
2
250g skinless chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
1 tsp sesame oil
salt & pepper, to taste
1 spring onion white & green finely sliced separately
200g broccoli cut into small florets
1 carrot (medium) shredded or shaved into ribbons
100g mangetout trimmed & sliced
50g dried flat rice noodles cooked to packet instructions
1 tsp black sesame seeds or white
Peanut Sauce
1 1⁄2 tbs smooth natural peanut butter (or other nut butter)
1 tbs soy sauce (or tamari if gluten free)
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1 1⁄2 tsp sriracha sauce (chilli garlic sauce)
1 1⁄2 tbs water hot (or more as needed)
To make the sauce: Whisk together peanut butter, soy, vinegar, sriracha and water in a small bowl, adding more water if required and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat.
Toss chicken, oil and salt and pepper in a bowl until well coated. Add chicken to the hot pan and cook until no longer pink, 3-4 minutes on each side.
Add white parts of the onion and cook for a few more minutes.
Add vegetables and continue to cook, tossing for 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the peanut sauce, tossing to coat. Adjust seasoning.
Divide noodles between bowls, top with chicken and vegetables and scatter over remaining onion and sesame seeds to serve.
