Hello. This is a bowl of spicy noodle deliciousness and there's tons of flavor going on here. Which makes me happy because I'm all about flavor.

Here's a list of the delicious players in this bowl:

1.) Roasted Cashew Nuts. OMG, yes.

2.) Dry red chilies. Aren't they a fiery looking beauty? But don't be scared, we're only using them for flavor and not a lot of spice.

3.) Egg noodles!

4.) And crunchy veggies!

Now I know this recipe might seem like a lot, what with all the steps. BUT it's delicious, it's hot, it's a little bit spicy, it's crunchy with the veggies, and nutty from the roasted cashew nuts. I promise you won't regret investing time into making this, because the ROI (return on investment) is in the form of flavor fireworks in your mouth. Hehe.

This is what happiness in a bowl looks like for me. And I think you'd agree with me after you make it.

Btw, what's YOUR happiness in a bowl look like? I would love to know, just drop your answer in the comment section below! 🙂

  • For the Chicken Marinade:
  • 450 grams chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1/3 cup corn flour
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 egg
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • For the Noodles
  • 350 grams egg noodles
  • For the Chicken Gravy
  • 2 tbsp cashew nuts
  • 3 dry red chillies
  • 2 large onions thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon ginger paste
  • 1 green capsicum sliced finely

  • 4 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 carrot cut into thin strips
  • A handful of chopped coriander for garnishing.

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken with marinade ingredients. Heat 1/2 cup oil in a fry pan and fry the chicken until golden brown.
  • Cook the egg noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain and set aside.
