Overview

  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 450g Smoked Bacon

  • 500g Packet Noodles

  • 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter (we use ManiLife)

  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp Chilli Oil

  • 2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar

  • 1 1/2 Tsp Five-Spice

  • Knob of Ginger

  • 10 Spring Onions

Method

  1. Spoon your peanut butter into a bowl and mix together with your soy sauce, chilli oil, rice vinegar and 2 tbsp of water until you get a thick, creamy, rich sauce. Then set aside.
  1. Chop your bacon into chunks and fry in a non-stick pan until crispy.
  1. Meanwhile, finely chop your spring onion (setting aside a handful for garnish) and ginger. Add to the pan along with your five-spice for an aromatic kick, then stir together.
  1. In another pan bring your noodles to the boil. Simmer for about 3 minutes then add to your bacony pan. Set some of the noodle water aside.
  1. Next, take your peanut sauce and toss it through the noodles until they are evenly coated - add a splash of the noodle water to loosen it.
  1. Plate up and garnish with a sprinkle of spring onion and a tsp chilli oil then you’re ready to dig in.
