CHILLI SAUCE 🌶
100g caster sugar⁣
50ml red wine vinegar ⁣
1 tbsp Thai sweet chilli sauce

Method

Cook your choice of noodles according to their instructions, rinse in water and set aside. ⁣

Prepare the peanut sauce. In a bowl mix together your peanut butter, tahini, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, sriracha, rice wine vinegar, water and set aside. ⁣

Next move on to the chilli dressing (this is the secret weapon!) In a small saucepan add the sugar and red wine vinegar. Dissolve the sugar over low heat then raise the temperature so the mixture simmers for 3-4 mins mixing continuously. Take it off the heat and stir in the Thai sweet chilli sauce. Set this sauce to the side ready for drizzling when plating up your dish. ⁣

Stir fry your chicken in a little oil until cooked and set aside. ⁣

Next stir fry the carrots and sugar snaps in the sesame oil for 1-2 mins. Once the veggies have heated through add the noodles, peanut sauce and chicken back into the pan and combine. Once ready plate it up and dress with a drizzle of the chilli sauce and pickled cucumber rolls.
