  • Add 1 nest of Dried wholewheat noodles to a pan of boiling water and simmer for 4 minutes (or according to packet instructions).
  • Add the hoisin sauce mix to the chicken and stir well and gently cook for 3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Drain the noodles and add to 6 Lettuce leaves.
  • Top with 0.5 Carrot (grated).
  • Add the cooked chicken mixture.
  • Top with Red chilli, crushed cashews, fresh coriander, spring onions and sesame seeds and serve.

Notes

  • You could use chicken thighs instead of breast.
  • We used round lettuce, but you could use little gem, cos or romaine.
  • Swap the chicken for stir fry veggies, prawns or tofu.
  • You could use sweet chilli sauce instead of sriracha.
  • Leftover cooked chicken mixture will store in the fridge for 2 days in an air tight container.
  • If you want the sauce a little thicker, than add a cornflour slurry.
  • To add a bit of crunch, you could add some crushed peanuts or cashews to the top of it.
