Drunken Noodles

Drunken Noodles

250 gram packet of fettuccine or some other wide noodle
3 chicken breasts, cubed
1 large onion
3 bell peppers
3 carrots
1 courgette/zucchini
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 fresh chili, de-seeded and chopped up finely (the original recipe listed anaheim chilli, but any would do I'm sure, and I actually used crushed chilli from a jar)
5 cloves crushed garlic
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce (original recipe called for garlic chilli sauce but I don't have that, and it already has both garlic and chilli, so I figured I'd use this in place of sugar)
1/4 cup basil leaves
Lime wedges (to serve with)

Slice up all the vegetables really thinly lengthwise, so that they themselves are of about the same width as your noodles.

Put on the fettuccine or noodles to cook according to the packet directions.

While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the chicken and cook until all of the chicken is cooked through (or thereabouts). Add the vegetables, chilli and garlic and continue to cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes.

Finally, add the various sauces, give it all a good stir to combine, and leave it to simmer for 5 minutes. Taste it and if it is not burn-your-mouth spicy, consider adding more chilli.

When the pasta is ready, drain it and add it to the frying pan. Tear or chop the basil leaves and add them to the pan as well. Stir it about until it is well combined and serve it up immediately!
