I love peanut butter and have made many things using this spread. This recipe is no exception to how versatile peanut butter can be in both sweet and savoury dishes.
I have made the sauce myself rather than buying a satay sauce, as I then know exactly what goes into it.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 3 servings
Ingredients
400 g chicken thighs, chopped coarsely
1 ½ tsp ground coriander
1½ tsp ground cumin
1½ tsp ground turmeric
200 g hokkien noodles
4 spring onions
125 g fresh baby corn (Australian baby corn available at Coles in vegetable department)
1 carrot, sliced thinly
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
For the sauce
100 g crunchy peanut butter
100 g coconut cream
100 g chicken stock
1½ tbsp sweet chilli sauce
1½ tbsp soy sauce
½ tbsp brown sugar
¾ tbsp lime juice
Method
Combine the spices in a bowl and add the chicken. Mix well to coat with these spices.
Put boiling water over the noodles, as per packet instructions, and separate with a fork.
Chop the spring onions and corn diagonally into about 4 cm pieces.
Heat some oil in a wok and stir fry the chicken in batches, until browned. Remove from wok.
Heat a bit more oil in the wok and stir fry the corn and carrot until just tender, about 3 - 5 minutes.
Return the chicken to the wok with the noodles, onion, peanut butter sauce (instructions below) and coriander.
Stir fry until heated through -this will depend on the size of the chicken pieces, but about 10 minutes.
For the sauce
Combine all ingredients except the chicken stock in a medium jug, and whisk until well combined.
When it is smooth, add the chicken stock, and whisk again.
Serve at once and this recipe lends itself very well to heating up the next day also.
