Prep those chopsticks folks because this one is super yummy!

Firstly, you’ll need to go and get this recipe, from ThePioneerWoman.com because the woman is a genius. Her cooking has changed my life. I’m not exaggerating here, just make sure you come right back and try out this extension to her recipe that I’ve painstakingly put together for you.

What you will need for my portion of the recipe is:

1 pack of chicken fillets (approx 400-500g will do fine)

3-4 Big carrots, peeled and sliced length ways

Half a cucumber sliced into strips

1 cabbage (sliced in strips)

A Wok (preferably, but a regular non-stick frying pan will suffice)

Noodles (this is where it’s easier than you think – the ones from Asian supermarkets are best, but if you’re not able to find any, then any regular thin-ish spaghetti will work just fine – even two minute noodles would work if you’re REALLY pressed, but don’t tell any real chefs I told you that because a) I will deny it and b) other internet foodies will laugh at me

3 Spring Onions (chopped)

Other ingredients you will require for cooking the chicken are:

2 Tablespoons of cooking oil (your choice whether you use olive, canola, vegetable or sunflower)
2 Tablespoons of Soy sauce (I use low sodium but any kind works great!)

Step 1: Cook noodles as per cooking instructions – in a pot on the stove top - this usually involves boiling them in water for the required number of minutes. It’s not brain surgery, read the instructions and you can’t go wrong. If you think I’m going to use words like ‘al dente’ here, then please proceed to the next website, do not pass go, do not take $200. Set them aside once cooked (still in the water – do not strain them yet)

Step 2: Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in your wok and saute (fancy word for flash/stir fry) adding the soy sauce, and cooking until done. Please don’t go giving yourselves salmonella poisoning or anything, make sure that chicken is cooked!

Step 3: Stir-fry your carrots/cucumber/cabbage for a few minutes using the juices left over from having cooked the chicken. Do not over-season your dish, remember that all the big flavours are still going to be added!

Step 4: Now it’s time to prepare that sesame noodle sauce as per the Pioneer Woman’s recipe. You will need the following ingredients on hand – I’m posting them here in case you want to prep your shopping list, but please visit her site for instructions on making the sauce (it’s super easy, and delicious, and no cooking required!). Make sure you have – on hand:
