Mongolian Chicken & Broccoli with Rice Noodles & Crushed Peanuts

COOK TIME - 20–30min
2 SERVINGS

Stir-frying is the best cooking method for quickly infusing meat & veggies with deep caramelised flavours. Here, chicken gets flashed in a hot skillet with aromatics before adding crisp broccoli florets & a savoury hoisin sauce into the mix. Tender rice noodles soak up the sauce, while peanuts on top provide a delightful crunch. This quick-to-make meal is the perfect combination of flavours & textures.
