- 500g egg noodles

Method:
- Marinate the chicken in the listed ingredients for 10-30 minutes.

TIP: For the best flavour in your satay chicken noodles, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or longer if possible). This allows the spices and flavours to fully absorb into the meat, making it more tender and delicious. Also, cook the chicken on high heat to get a nice sear, which adds extra depth to the dish.
