Ingredients

2 large skinless chicken breasts
175g dried medium egg noodles
2 good handfuls of greens, such as Chinese leaf finely shredded
2 carrots cut into thin strips
8 spring onions finely sliced
1 red pepper seeded and finely sliced
a handful of fresh coriander leaves
1 red chilli seeded and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tbsp root ginger finely chopped
2 tbsp soy sauce
juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp olive oil

Method

Set your grill to high. Place the chicken breasts on a baking tray and grill them for 10-12 minutes, without turning, until they are fully cooked.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the egg noodles as per the packet directions. Once drained, rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking.
Combine the shredded greens, carrot strips, sliced spring onions, and sliced red pepper in a large bowl. Slice the cooked chicken thinly and add it to the bowl with the noodles and coriander leaves.
Whisk together the chopped chilli, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, and 2 tablespoons water. Pour this dressing over the salad, toss everything thoroughly, and serve immediately.
