Ingredients

For the fried noodles

  • 250 g Asian noodles (used in the recipe: mie noodles)
  • 400 g chicken breast fillet
  • 2 red pointed bell peppers
  • 150 g snow peas
  • 3 spring onions
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 small piece of fresh ginger
  • 2 eggs
  • Neutral oil
  • A little sesame seeds for garnish

Asian sauce for fried noodles

  • 5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Instructions

  • Cook the Asian noodles according to the package instructions, drain, and let them drain well. Cut the pointed bell peppers into thin strips and halve the snow peas. Finely chop the garlic and ginger. Slice the spring onions into diagonal rings.
  • In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the Asian sauce until smooth. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized strips. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan or wok and sear the chicken over high heat until golden brown, then remove from the pan.
  • Briefly sauté the garlic and ginger, then add the bell peppers and snow peas and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. Add the eggs to the pan, let them set slightly, then stir. Fold in the noodles. Return the chicken to the pan, add the sauce, and stir-fry everything for a few more minutes until the noodles are glossy and the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  • Serve the fried noodles on plates, garnished with spring onions and a little sesame.
