How to make Chicken Satay Noodle Stir Fry:
To begin, heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan on a high heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides until cooked through. Cook the noodles for 2.5 minutes in a large pot of boiling water.
Drain the noodles and add to the pan with the chicken. Stir fry for a few minutes. In a glass jug, whisk together the soy sauce, boiling water, peanut butter and both Indomie flavour sachets.
Pour the satay sauce over the noodles and chicken, then stir fry to coat in the sauce.
Once heated through, serve the noodles and chicken in bowls topped with carrot, sugar snaps, bean sprouts, spring onion and fresh chilli. Scatter over roasted peanuts and serve immediately with slices of lime.

Recipe FAQs:
I prefer boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. But chicken breast would also work.
Absolutely! The sauce isn't spicy and you can just add your kids' favourite vegetables to the top (leaving out the chilli!).
Storage:
Store any leftover chicken satay and noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat until piping hot.

What flavour is in the sachet, as I couldn't use those noodles, as not gluten free. Thanks
