SATAY CHICKEN NOODLE SALAD

If you like Satay Chicken, then you’re going to LOVE this noodle salad! This is fantastic served warm or at room temperature. If you’re entertaining, lay everything out in separate bowls and let everyone help themselves!

Noodles. Satay Chicken. Veggies. And a creamy peanut dressing. What an awesome combination!

It’s like Satay Chicken and a noodle stir fry had a baby. Or a noodle

 stir fry and a salad had a baby. No, wait – more like Satay Chicken and a salad had a baby.

It’s a hybrid! And it’s INCREDIBLE with a capital I. A BIG capital I.

I can assure you, with the Japanese blood running through my veins, I am very fussy about feaux-Asian food. I’m not even going to pretend this is authentic South East Asian food by any stretch of the imagination.

But it’s darn tasty, and that’s all that matters. 

So this is part of my attempt to get more veggies onto RecipeTin Eats in 2016. I started with just a satay chicken salad without noodles. But I just wasn’t happy. It was yum – ok yum.

But I knew that if I added noodles, it would be magical.

The creamy peanut dressing which is made to be tossed with noodles.

Speaking of the chicken, this isn’t just plain cooked chicken. Oh no! It’s made using a basic satay chicken recipe, so it’s got plenty of flavour oomph in its own right.

Honestly? I’d be happy with just a bowl of the chicken and the peanut dressing. Hold the veggies thanks!

Veggies – tick.

Noodles – tick.

Tasty satay chicken – double tick.

Creamy satay peanut sauce – triple tick.

Use all the willpower you have to NOT drink all the dressing.

Or eat all the chicken with the dressing. That’s the hardest part. When that chicken is cooked….you won’t be able to resist dunking it in the dressing to have a taste…then it will take a LOT of strength to stop! -Nagi x
