Notes
1. Just use regular peanut you use for sandwiches! If you use unsweetened peanut butter, you may need to add a touch of sugar to the sauce. If using pure pureed peanut spread, you may find it's a bit dry so will need to add a little oil to the sauce.
2. Don't skip the fish sauce! It's key for getting enough complexity in the flavour of this Peanut Sauce with so few ingredients. The sauce smells a bit fishy but that smell disappears once cooked. Few people can pick that the stir fry sauce has fish sauce in it!
3. Dark Soy Sauce has more flavour than light and all purpose soy sauce. It also darkens the colour of the Peanut Sauce. You can substitute with normal soy sauce.
4. This tenderises the chicken the Chinese restaurant way. It's especially effective for chicken breast which is lean and can dry out from overcooking quickly, but can be used for any cut of chicken, or pork. I personally don't enjoy using this technique for beef - I prefer using a decent cut of beef for stir fries.
5. You can also use fresh noodles ie from the fridge section. Use 180 - 200g / 6 - 7 oz fresh noodles of choice - egg or rice.
6. Nutrition per serving, assuming 2 servings (they are fairly generous). You can reduce by 60 calories per serve by cutting down to 1 tbsp oil.
