Method
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, toss the chicken strips with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornflour. Set aside to marinate.
2. Cook the Noodles
Boil the dried egg noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water. Toss with half of the rapeseed oil to prevent sticking.
3. Prepare the Sauce
Heat a wok over medium heat and add the remaining rapeseed oil. Stir-fry the spring onions for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer before adding the marinated chicken. Cook until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Add the Veggies
Stir in the sugar snap peas, frozen beans, and sweetcorn. Simmer until the veggies are nearly tender. Adjust seasoning with lime juice and additional chilli if desired.
5. Combine Everything
Add the cooked noodles, carrot shavings, and baby spinach. Stir until everything is heated through and the spinach wilts.
6. Serve
Garnish with chopped cashews and fresh coriander. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful and creamy chicken satay noodles!
