Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large saucepan, a medium bowl, a measuring jug & a peeler
  • Boil a kettle

Get sizzlin' & prep the veg

  • Finely dice the onions
  • Heat a large frying pan with 2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and plant-based chicken pieces and cook for 4-5 mins, until golden. Season with salt and pepper
  • Meanwhile, add the peanut butter, miso and 200ml boiling water to the measuring jug, stir until smoot, then set aside
  • Thinly slice the pepper. Trim and cut the green beans into thirds

Build the flavour

  • Add the curry powder (use less for less heat) and peppers (make it kid friendly: serve as crunchy crudités on the side, instead) to the chick'n, toss to coat. Cook for 2-3 mins, then stir in the ginger & garlic paste and peanut sauce into the pan
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 4-5 mins, until the sauce is thick and coats the chick'n

Cook the noodles

  • Bring the large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Add the noodles, gently separate with a fork and simmer for 6-7 mins, until cooked. In the final 4 mins, add the green beans and cook until tender. Drain together, then rinse under cold water
  • Dice the cucumber into 1cm chunks and add to the medium bowl along with half the juice from the lime and a pinch of salt

Plate up

  • Toss the noodles and green beans (make it kid friendly: serve plain on the side, instead) into the chick'n pan and squeeze in the juice from the remaining lime. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a splash of water if it's too thick
  • Serve the peanut chick'n noodles into bowls with the cucumber salad on the side
