Spicy Chicken Noodles - Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

Inspired by South East Asian street food Mee Goreng, we’ve stir-fried our Spicy Chicken Noodles in a homemade sweet and savoury sauce. They’re ideal for a quick, slimming-friendly dinner, or they’re light enough to enjoy for lunch.

Noodle dishes are just the ticket when you’re in a hurry, and you can take this recipe from wok to plate in 10 minutes. We’ve added a mild amount of curry powder to our noodles, but there’s nothing to stop you adding more if you’re in the mood for a hotter serving.

To make our street-food inspired dish even more filling, we’ve added crunchy pak choi and spring onions. If you’ve got veggie leftovers looking lonely in the fridge, chop them up and throw them into the wok. The beauty of stir-fries is that they’re quick, easy and versatile! 

What diets are these Spicy Chicken Noodles suitable for?

Spicy Chicken Noodles are suitable for dairy-free diets. They’re not suitable for vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free diets.

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.

Do you need any special ingredients to make Spicy Chicken Noodles?

We’ve ramped up the savoury flavours in our Spicy Chicken Noodles with a couple of tablespoons of oyster sauce. It should be easy to find at the supermarket, or you can buy it from Amazon.

    Hi Hayley, you can use Chinese leaves or tender spring cabbage instead of pak choi in our Spicy Chicken Noodles. Enjoy the recipe!

Made this tonight and was totally enjoyed by everyone. I did add two yellow peppers, for fun, but no one had any left. Lovely dish full of flavour.
