Thai Chicken Noodle Salad

Here is a nice and easy recipe for busy people. I understand how tiring it could be to prepare dinner after a long day of work. As a solution, I always try to prepare dishes that require a small number of ingredients as possible.

I got this recipe a while ago from a cooking demo held in Westfield Eastgardens, 10 mins drive from our place. We tasted the dish and Thu said "Let's cook this tonight!!". Just a reminder that Thai sweet chilli sauce has so much sugar in it. If you're diabetic, please reduce the amount of the sweet chilli sauce.


Ingredients:
  • half pack of Wai Wai noodle
  • basil leaves (chopped thinly)
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • a pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 chicken thigh fillets (cut into strips)
  • 2 tbs Thai sweet chilli sauce
  • 0.5 lemon
  • 200 grams long green beans (cut into small pieces)
Salad dressing for noodle:
  • 3 tbs soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbs sesame oil
Preparations:
  1. Boil noodle for 2-3 min, then drain. If noodle are too long, chop them with scissors before adding the salad dressing.
  2. Toss the noodles in a bowl with sesame oil, soy sauce and chopped basil leaves.
  3. Heat olive oil on the wok, add chicken thigh fillets, salt and pepper. Stir fry until they are fully cooked. Add Thai sweet chilli sauce, lemon juice and long green beans. Cook for maximum 3 mins. The green beans should be crunchy.
  4. Serve the chicken with green beans on top of the noodles and garnish with basil leaves.
