NOODLES
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and rinse in cold water.
SEEDS
Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Chicken
Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Coat the Chicken strips with the NOMU rub. When hot, fry the chicken strips until cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan.
STIR-FRY
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Carrot matchsticks, the pepper strips, and the grated garlic until lightly charred but still crunchy, 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked noodles, the soy dressing, and 30ml of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until the noodles are warmed through. Remove from the heat, toss through the cooked Chicken, and season.
TIME TO EAT
Make a bed of the stir-fry and sprinkle over the toasted sesame seeds. Well done, Chef!
