2 tbsp lime juice
6 tbsp coconut milk (I used low fat)
2 tbsp water
¼ tsp salt
Salad
10oz/300g fresh egg noodles (Note 1)
2 cups red cabbage, shredded

¼ tsp salt

1½ tsp curry powder
2 tsp sweet soy sauce/ kecap manis (Note 3)
1 tbsp cooking oil
Garnish
3 tbsp peanuts, roughly chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix dressing ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
Prepare noodles according to packet instructions.
Place both cabbages and carrots in a bowl, add ¼ tsp salt, toss to combine and set aside for 5-10 minutes to wilt lightly.
Place the Satay Chicken ingredients EXCEPT the oil in a bowl and toss to coat.
Heat oil in a non stick fry pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes until golden, then transfer to a plate.
Toss noodles and remaining salad ingredients with chicken and Dressing, then serve. Serve at room temperature or warm.
NOTES
1. I used Fantastic Fresh Singapore Noodles, but you can use any noodles you want. Just prepare them according to the packet instructions. I like use the thin noodles you get from the refrigerator section of the supermarket. They only require soaking in boiling water for a couple of minutes to prepare them. 2. The larger the chili, the less spicy they are. I used the large red chilies that are around 15cm/6" long that are not very spicy. You could also use finely sliced red bell peppers/capsicums, or omit this altogether. 3. You can use either sweet soy sauce OR kecap manis in this. Sweet soy sauce is syrupy and sweet, compared to thin ordinary soy sauce. If you can't find sweet soy sauce or kecap mains, then use 1½ tsp brown sugar and 1 tbsp soy sauce. 4. To serve warm, I like to cook the chicken last, then toss all the other ingredients into the fry pan and add ¼ cup water. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes until warmed through, then serve.
