Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips, then chop into thirds.

Halve the sugar snap peas lengthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

 Stir-Fry the Veg
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Once hot, add the sliced pepper and season with salt and pepper. Fry until starting to soften, 2-3 mins.

Add the sugar snaps, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 mins more. 

Add the garlic, cook for 30 secs, then transfer the cooked veg to a medium bowl. Set aside.

Fry the Chicken
3

In a large bowl, add the diced chicken, cornflour and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Pop your (now empty) frying pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil if needed.

Once hot, add the chicken. Fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Sauce Things Up
4

Meanwhile, crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the veg back into the pan.

Lower the heat to medium, then add the ketjap manis, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). 

Stir to combine and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly, 2-3 mins. 

Add the Noodles
5

Add the udon noodles to the pan with the chicken and veg.

Toss to coat, using a fork to gently separate them. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Remove from the heat and season to taste. Add a splash of water if needed.

Serve Up
6

Share the sweet and sticky noodles between your bowls.

Sprinkle over the peanuts to finish.

Enjoy!
