Ingredients

Slaw

  • 1 pack mung bean vermicelli
  • 1 pack ranch slaw
  • 1/2 pack baby spinach
  • 1 pack spicy peanut dressing
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar

Peanut Chicken

  • 1/2 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pack lean chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock
  • 1 pack Thai peanut sauce
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce
  • 3/4 tsp cornflour mixed with 1 Tbsp water

To Serve

  • 1 bunch mint, chopped
  • 1/2 pack chopped peanuts

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil.
  2. Cook vermicelli. Place vermicelli in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 5 minutes then drain. Run under the cold tap and leave to drain well. Set half the noodles aside (this is leftover).
  3. Prep & cook peanut chicken. Heat 1 tsp oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion and 1/4 tsp salt for 3 minutes, until softened. Add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until starting to colour (but not cooked through).
  4. Add capsicum, stock, peanut sauce and soy sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Stir through cornflour/water mixture and cook for 30 more seconds, until thickened.
  5. Prep slaw. Toss all slaw ingredients together in a bowl with cooked noodles and season to taste.
  6. Serve slaw topped with peanut chicken and sauce. Sprinkle over mint and peanuts.
