OODLES OF NOODLES
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain, reserve the pasta water, and rinse in cold water.
PREP THE Peanuts
Place the chopped Peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN Chicken
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
SPICY COCONUT SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Carrot until charred & softening, 6-7 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic & ginger and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Mix through the coconut cream, the seared Chicken, and 2 tbsp of water. Leave to simmer until slightly reduced and the carrots and chicken are cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 2-3 minutes, mix through the cooked noodles, the spicy peanut sauce, a splash of the reserved pasta water, and seasoning. Loosen with more pasta water if it is too thick and the sauce splits. Remove from the heat and set aside.
SWEET & NUTTY SALAD
In a bowl, combine the shredded leaves with the Cucumber matchsticks, the drained peppers, ½ the toasted nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.
