Chicken Thai Noodles
A fairly simple stir fried chicken noodles with bursting Oriental flavours. This Oriental chicken noodle is quick to make,loaded with veggies and protein. I had this Oriental noodles a couple of years back in an Oriental restaurant and was totally hooked to the flavours. The best things about this one pan dish are the sauce and lots of fresh Thai basil.
Since past couple of months, blogging has taken a back seat because of other priority tasks. I am hardly spending time in the kitchen in trying new recipes. In fact, this recipe was sitting in the draft for almost a month before I finally got a little time to write this post.
I had made this noodle almost a month ago when I had some lemongrass and fresh Thai basil. You have to consume them before they get spoiled. Earlier I used to clean the herbs and store them in the refrigerator on the same day of purchase. Still, they never used to be fresh. Now I just clean the roots if there is any mud(in the case of coriander leaves), trim the bottom a little, then put the bunch in a small jar filled half filled with water. Then loosely cover the bunch with a plastic cover and place on the kitchen counter. Change water in the jar in every two days. This way the herbs remain fresh for almost a week.
