Ingredients

  • 2 tbs kecap manis
  • 1 tbs lemon juice
  • 2 tsp fish sauce
  • 200g dried rice stick noodles
  • 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 carrot, peeled, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 bunch choy sum, quartered lengthways
  • 1/2 quantity shredded peanut butter chicken, thawed if frozen (see recipe below)
  • 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 Coles Australian Free Range Eggs, lightly whisked

Method

STEP 1

Combine the kecap manis, lemon juice and fish sauce in a small jug. Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Set aside for 8-10 mins or until tender. Drain well.

STEP 2

Meanwhile, heat half of the oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add carrot and stir-fry for 2 mins or until almost tender. Add choy sum and stir-fry for 1 min. Transfer to a plate.

STEP 3

Heat remaining oil in the wok or pan. Add chicken and spring onion and stir-fry for 5 mins or until the chicken is charred and heated through. Add the noodles and egg and stir-fry for 30 secs or until the egg is just set. Return the choy sum mixture to the pan with the kecap manis mixture. Stir-fry for 30 secs or until combined.

STEP 4

Divide the noodle mixture and bean sprouts among serving bowls. 

Serve with lemon wedges and coriander sprigs
