Quick Satay Chicken Noodle Stirfry


There are a million and one ways to do satay, it all depends on how you like it! This recipe is a quick satay that doesn't need so many ingredients!

I have another satay recipe for if you have some extra time and want something with really 'WOW' flavours - http://elisethehangrychef.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/chicken-satay-with-rice.html but this recipe is for when you're on the go and need something yummy quick!

You will need... (4 serves)
1 large chicken breast
1/4 small red cabbage
1 carrot
1 large handful of snow peas
1/4 head of broccoli
1/2 red capsicum
200gr soba or udon noodles (I use the organic brand by Hakubaku- check out the website there are some awesome recipes on there!)
1 Tbs peanut oil

For the marinade/sauce
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (use crunchy if you want)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp tamari paste (substitue for 2 tsp of soy sauce if you can't get any)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (keep the seeds if you like it hot)
1/4 cup of water
Aren't those colours a beauty?
Method...
1. Cut up the chicken into strips and combine all the marinade ingredients aside from the water and half of the peanut butter. Rub the marinade into the chicken and set aside while you prepare the noodles and vegetables.
2. Bring a pot of water (unsalted) to the boil and cook your noodles according to the packet instructions. Once cooked al'dente, strain and then run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. Wash all the veggies, shred the cabbage, peel and slice the carrot, slice the capsicum and break up the broccoli into small florets. Destring the snow peas and cut them in half/thirds.
3. Heat oil in a wok, and place the chicken on to cook. If the marinade starts to clump from the heat, add a little water to keep it smooth.

4.Once the chicken is cooked through, add the veggies all together along with the remaining peanut butter and water (adjust the amount of water needed to ensure a nice saucy consistency).
You could serve it just like this if you like- or over rice if you prefer!
4. Add the noodles and cook on high until all coated and the veggies are just cooked- keep them a little crunchy! Enjoy!
