Chicken Satay Noodles

There’s nothing quicker or tastier than a stir fry meal. These chicken satay noodles are a crowd pleaser for sure – even the kids will love this simple dish!

The Satay Sauce

We don’t believe that cooking for your family should be difficult or time consuming. Here, you have the option to make the satay sauce from scratch, or just buy it ready made. You can always adjust the flavours of a pre-made sauce by adding more lime, soy sauce or chilli.

Adding Veggies

A stir fry is an easy way to add vegetables into your diet. On top of the baby corn, carrot and peppers, you can add broccoli, pak choi, finely sliced cabbage or even cauliflower rice.

Because the noodles and veggies end up mixed up and cooked together, it’s an easy way to hide extra vegetables in there for picky eaters too!
