Recipe video above. Thai Chicken Peanut Noodles is what you make when you've got less than 15 minutes to get dinner on the table and you need a Thai fix! Using chicken mince means no meat prep - and you can switch it out with literally any ground meat (beef, turkey, pork). It might not be authentic Thai ... but it's fast and 100% delicious!NOTE: Trick here is to work quickly so the sauce isn't all absorbed by the noodles which will make them bloated and clumpy. If your noodles do absorb all the sauce, just add a splash of water to thin it out.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tbsp oil
1 garlic clove (, minced)
200g/7oz chicken mince ((ground chicken) (Note 1))
1 tsp curry powder ((Note 2))
1 1/2 tbsp red curry paste (, separated (Note 3))
1 tsp dark soy sauce ((Note 4))
1 1/2 cups chicken stock/broth (, low sodium)
3/4 cup coconut milk ((~1/2 a can), full fat for best flavour)
2 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 instant ramen or noodle cakes (~70-100g/2.5-3.5oz per cake; any brand (discard seasoning pack, Note 5))
2 (big!) handfuls baby spinach
2 tbsp peanuts (, finely chopped)
Roughly chopped fresh coriander/cilantro leaves
Sriracha or other chilli paste (, optional)

Steps:

  • Sauté garlic: Heat oil in a medium skillet over high heat (not too large, else the sauce will evaporate too quickly). Add garlic and cook for 20 seconds until it turns golden.
  • Cook chicken: Add chicken mince and cook for 2 minutes, breaking it up as you go, until it mostly changes from pink to white.
  • Add flavourings: Add 1 tbsp red curry paste, curry powder and soy sauce. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Cook extra curry paste: Clear a space in the middle of the pan, add remaining 1/2 tbsp curry paste, stir the curry paste for 30 seconds.
  • Simmer stock: Add chicken stock, bring to a simmer then reduce to medium-high. Simmer for 1 minute.
  • Add noodles: Squish the noodle cakes in, pushing chicken aside so the noodles are as submerged as possible.
  • Cook 45 sec, flip, 30 sec: Leave to cook for 45 seconds, then flip noodles. Leave for another 30 seconds, then separate the noodles with 2 wooden spoons.
  • Add peanut sauce: Push noodles aside, add coconut milk, peanut butter and vinegar, then give it a quick mix to mostly dissolve the peanut butter.
  • Toss with spinach: Add spinach, toss with the noodles for 30 seconds until wilted. Make sure it's still pretty saucy - everybody loves sauce!
  • Serve: Transfer to serving bowls, sprinkle with coriander, peanuts and Sriracha or chilli paste if desired.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 ounce Asian style noodles (like rice noodles)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
6 ounce mushrooms (cleaned and sliced, I used cremini mushrooms)
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1 green bell pepper (sliced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups chicken breast (cooked , cut in small pieces)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
4 green onions (chopped)
1/4 cup peanuts (chopped)
1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
1/2 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
3 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (or any other hot sauce)
1 teaspoon red chili paste
1 teaspoon ginger (minced)

Steps:

  • Cook noodles: Cook the Asian style noodles according to package directions.
  • Make the sauce: Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a medium size bowl and set aside.
  • Saute the veggies: Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to brown, stirring them occasionally. Once the mushrooms have browned, add the sliced peppers and garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
  • Finish the noodles: Add the chopped chicken to the skillet and toss everything together, then pour the sauce and stir. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce comes to a boil. At this time you can taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add cooked noodles and toss everything together. The noodles will absorb all the extra sauce.
  • Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts.
