PEANUT SAUCE
Boil the kettle. Using a whisk or fork, whisk the brown sugar and soy sauce mix in a bowl, until the sugar has dissolved. Add the peanut butter, the grated Garlic, and the sesame & chilli mix (to taste). Mix until combined and emulsified.
BUBBLE IT UP
Fill a pot with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving 1 tbsp of the cooking water. Toss some oil through the noodles to prevent sticking. Cover to keep warm and set aside for serving. Mix the reserved cooking water into the peanut sauce until silky.
WHILE THE NOODLES ARE COOKING...
Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel, and cut into bite-sized cubes. Place a pan or wok over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken for 1-2 minutes until golden but not completely cooked through. On completion, toss through the Cabbage and the carrot for 1-2 minutes until heated but still crunchy. Pour in the peanut sauce and toss for 1 minute until the chicken is coated and cooked through. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
NO NEED TO HIT THE STREETS
Make a bed of scrumptious egg noodles and top with the silky Chicken stir-fry. Simply delicious!
