Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly
• 120 g rice noodles
• 150 g cucumber, cut into batons
• 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
• 1 lemongrass stalk, outer layer removed, finely chopped
• 10 g fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tsp rapeseed oil
• 1 tbsp tamari
• 2 tbsp coriander leaves, roughly chopped
• ½ tsp salt

Brands differ. Scan the one in your cupboard to check what it actually contains. That matters most for the tamari here, where what is in the packet varies by brand.

Method

1. Mix the chicken with the lemongrass, ginger, tamari and salt and leave it for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Soak the rice noodles in just-boiled water for 4 minutes, or as the packet says, then drain and rinse under cold water.
3. Heat the oil in a wide pan over a high heat and cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through.
4. Divide the noodles between two bowls, top with the cucumber and carrot, then the chicken and any juices from the pan.
5. Finish with the coriander.

How this recipe was checked

The quantities above are the whole of it. The ingredient list Munchable reads, how much of the dish each ingredient makes up, and the fat and fibre in a serving are all worked out from those grams, so there is no second copy of the recipe to fall out of agreement with this one.

Checked against this recipe as written. Swap an ingredient or change the portion and the check changes with it. Munchable is a wellness tool, not medical advice, and it never tells you a food is free from anything.
