Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Tenderise Chicken (optional, Note 4): Place chicken and bicarb in a bowl and mix with your fingers. Set aside for 20 minutes. Rinse well in a colander, then shake off excess water. Roughly pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Sauce: Place all ingredients except water in a bowl and mix (microwave if needed to melt the peanut butter). Add water and mix.
  • Prepare noodles: Cook noodles according to package directions (usually soak in boiled water). Drain and set aside.

Cooking

  • Heat oil: In a large skillet or wok over high heat, add oil. Then, add garlic and onion, stirring for 30 seconds.
  • Cook chicken: Add chicken and cook until the outside changes from pink to white. Then, add carrot and cabbage, cooking until they start to wilt.
  • Combine ingredients: Add noodles, bean sprouts, and the sauce. Toss for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles.

Serving

  • Serve immediately, garnished with coriander and crushed peanuts.

Notes

Make sure to cut the chicken and vegetables into similar sizes for even cooking. You can customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand. If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with tofu or more vegetables. If you like it spicy, add some chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
