Method

  1. Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the pak choi pieces to gently blanch.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, reheat the chicken in a dry pan over a medium-low heat, if desired, until piping hot throughout. Remove the chicken from the pan and thickly slice, then set aside.
  3. To make the peanut sauce, combine the peanut butter, sriracha, soy sauce and honey in a small bowl. Add 2–3 tablespoons ice-cold water to loosen the sauce and reach a drizzling consistency.
  4. When the noodles are cooked, transfer to a bowl (with or without the stock, depending on whether you want brothy noodles) and add the blanched pak choi and sliced chicken pieces. Generously spoon over the peanut sauce and finish with a sprinkling of chilli flakes, if using.
