Noodles!
Noodles are perfect for a quick and easy dinner mid-week, and they're quite delicious. I love a big bowlful to slurp up!
I threw this dish together this evening, as you do with stir fries, and although I’ve outlined what I did you really can adjust it as much as you like. Use different meat, or none at all, try different vegetables – mange tout, bean sprouts, mushrooms, egg noodles instead of rice noodles, and adjust the seasoning as you wish.
Chicken Noodle Stir Fry
Heat your wok over the highest temperature until very hot and add some groundnut oil. Add slices of boneless chicken thighs (you could just as easily use chicken breast) and stir fry until white all over. Now add a crushed garlic clove along with a sliced red pepper, sliced curly kale (or similar, such as spinach, broccoli, pak choi) and sliced spring onions. Stir fry everything until the chicken is well cooked and the vegetables are still crunchy. Now add a good slosh of soy sauce and rice vinegar along with a dash of toasted sesame oil. Add rice noodles you’ve already cooked according to the instructions on the packet and toss everything around to coat well. Once the noodles are heated through the dish is ready to serve.

It looks like we're on the same page today - stir fry with chicken. Love your photo! I didn't get to photograph mine, as it got eaten too quickly. But I like your attitude towards food, and how you're comfortable with adding a "good slosh". Much much better than measuring everything!! Yesss!
This looks really simple to make and I imagine this was pretty inexpensive too. It makes me despair at my flatmates who eat the nasty ready made version from a pot! This is so obviously a million times better and it's hardly going to break the bank.
I adore rice noodles!
This looks very easy to prepare and so appealing.I am definitely going to try this one!
Hi Toni, You can't beat a good old slosh of this and a dash of that, can you? We all have our own tastes and I'm a real believer in making a recipe your own, tasting as you go, until you're happy with it. Anyway, cooking should be fun, who wants to get tied down to exact measurements? (I know there are recipes you do have to follow exactly, particularly when baking, though!)
Hi Ros, you're so right, this is very inexpensive and easy. Once you've bought your main seasonings they'll last you for so long and then you only have to buy the veg, noodles and meat if you like. AND you can have a different combination each time so no need to get bored!
That's great Mommy Chef, let me know how you get on!
