Ingredients
100g dried egg noodles
1 tbsp The Good Oil Extra Virgin High Oleic Sunflower Oil
300g chicken thigh fillets (skinless) cut into bite sized pieces
225g bag of Asian slaw
1½ spring onions thinly sliced
1 tsp rice vinegar
¼ C roasted cashew nuts
½ handful fresh coriander roughly chopped
Ingredients (Char Siu Sauce)
½ tsp cornflour
1½ tbsp water
2 tbsp char siu sauce
1½ tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
2cm fresh ginger finely grated
1 clove of garlic crushed
To make the char siu sauce, mix the cornflour and water together in a bowl until smooth, then add remaining sauce ingredients and mix to combine.
Cook noodles according to packet directions. Drain well into a colander or sieve, then run under cold water to cool. Drizzle with a little oil and toss to coat to prevent noodles from sticking together.
Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken over medium heat until well-coloured and just cooked through.
Add the char siu sauce mixture to the chicken and cook for a few minutes, stirring often, until sauce has thickened.
Add noodles to the chicken and toss to coat until heated through.
Place the slaw mixture, spring onions, vinegar and a good pinch of salt into a bowl and toss to combine.
Serve the noodles with the slaw on the side and top with the cashews and coriander.
