The ingredients for Sweet Chilli Chicken Noodles on a grey bench top

Hokkien Noodles: Thick egg noodles that originate from China.
Sweet Chilli: I use this sweet chilli sauce in so many of my Asian-style recipes. It is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Grab a 'hot' version if you like to take things up a notch!
Chicken: Chicken breast is perfect for a stir fry meal like this.

Is this meal kid-friendly?

Yes! The mild flavours of this meal mean it's a great introduction to Asian-style food for young children, while still being tasty enough for adults.
