Method

  1. Place chicken in a bowl with the soy sauce, cornflour, and turmeric, mix well and set aside.
  2. Cook the noodles in boiling salted water for about 2-3 mins, then drain. Place the noodles back into the saucepan, add a dash of the oil and toss together. Set aside.
  3. Heat the rest of the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the onion and stir-fry for a couple of mins. Add the garlic, ginger, chilli and stir-fry for a further minute before adding in the peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce and coconut milk. Stir until combined, then add in the chicken and simmer for 3 mins.
  4. Add all the veg and simmer gently for a further 2 mins before stirring in the noodles. Allow them to warm through, then finish with a good squeeze of lime juice and serve with some chopped peanuts and coriander on top. If the sauce thickens too much, simply add a splash of water to loosen it.
