Noodle Stir Fry
Savoury, Comforting & Packed with Flavour
This Noodle Stir Fry is a fast, satisfying dish that brings together tender chicken, chewy noodles, and crisp vegetables in a deeply savoury sauce. Inspired by classic Asian-style stir fries, it’s the kind of meal that feels both comforting and exciting — perfect for busy weeknights when you still want big flavour and a nourishing plate of food.
Juicy chicken thighs stay moist and flavourful, while cabbage and green onions add freshness and texture. The sauce is simple but bold, combining sweet soy sauce and fish sauce for that irresistible balance of salty, sweet, and umami. Finished with black pepper and aromatic garlic, this stir fry is proof that a handful of ingredients can create a dish that feels rich, complete, and incredibly satisfying.
Benefits of Each Ingredient
Chicken Thighs
Chicken thighs are rich in high-quality protein, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety. Their natural fat content helps keep the meat juicy and flavourful, making them ideal for quick, high-heat cooking.
Gluten Free Noodles
Gluten Free noodles provide energy-boosting carbohydrates, making this dish hearty and filling. Their soft, chewy texture absorbs the sauce beautifully for maximum flavour in every bite.
Garlic
Garlic contains allicin, known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It also enhances digestion and adds depth to the overall flavour of the dish.
Green Onions
Green onions provide freshness and mild sharpness while supplying vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants that support immune health.
Green Cabbage
Cabbage is rich in fibre, vitamin C, and gut-supporting compounds, adding crunch and lightness while helping balance the richness of the noodles and sauce.
Kecap Manis
Kecap manis adds sweetness and depth, creating a glossy sauce that balances savoury ingredients and enhances caramelisation during cooking.
Fish Sauce
Fish sauce delivers powerful umami flavour and provides trace minerals, elevating the dish without the need for many additional ingredients.
Black Pepper
Black pepper supports digestion and contains piperine, which may improve nutrient absorption while adding subtle heat.
