Check out our diced succulent chicken breast, prepped for quick meals or substitute for our delicious Prawns.

Ingredients:

• Noodles: 200g (7 oz) of your choice (lo mein, egg noodles, or rice noodles would work well)
• Chicken: 300g (10 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, cut into small bite-sized pieces
• Fresh Spinach: 2 cups, packed
• Asparagus: 1 bunch (about 200g), trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• Mushrooms: 1 cup, sliced (shiitake, button, or cremini)
• Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger: 1 tablespoon, minced (optional)
• Soy Sauce: 3 tablespoons (for a slightly brown color and savory flavor)
• Oyster Sauce: 2 tablespoons (optional, for extra umami)
• Sesame Oil: 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable Oil: 2 tablespoons (for stir-frying)
• Salt and Pepper: To taste
• Optional: Red chili flakes for heat or a squeeze of lime juice for a tangy finish

Instructions:

1. Cook the Noodles:

• Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

• In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Adjust quantities to taste. Set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Chicken:

• Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
• Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until they are browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

4. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

• In the same wok, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic (and ginger if using) and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
• Add the asparagus and mushrooms to the wok and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
• Add the spinach and cook until it wilts (about 1-2 minutes).

5. Combine Everything:

• Return the cooked chicken to the wok.
• Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over the top.
• Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated, and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6. Serve:

• Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or more soy sauce if needed.
• Serve hot, garnished with red chili flakes or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
