Cooking Steps

Cook the noodles
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water.
• Cook rice noodles over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a fork to 
separate, until tender, 4-6 minutes.
• Reserve some cooking water (see ingredients). Drain noodles, rinse and drizzle with olive oil.

Make the sauce
2

• Meanwhile, thinly slice spring onion. Halve lemon.
• In a large heatproof bowl, combine garlic paste, sesame seeds, peanut butter, a 
pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and spring onion. Set aside. 
• In a large frying pan, heat sesame oil blend over high heat until just smoking,  
30 seconds, then carefully pour oil over the peanut butter mixture. 
• Add soy sauce mix and a squeeze of lemon juice, then stir well to combine.


TIP: The hot oil will bubble up and ‘cook’ the garlic and chilli. 

Cook the chicken
3

• Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. 
• When oil is hot, cook chicken breast strips and sweet soy seasoning in batches, 
tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. 


TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it’s no longer pink inside.  

Finish & serve
4

• To the bowl with the peanut sauce, add cooked noodles, baby spinach leaves and a splash of the reserved cooking water. Toss well to combine.
• Divide peanut-chilli rice noodles between bowls. Top with chicken.
• Sprinkle with crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!


TIP: Add a splash more water if the noodle mixture looks too thick.
