This Spicy Chicken Chinese Noodles is made with Chinese egg noodles and a spicy and saucy chicken gravy.
A couple of days ago, I was fasting and I made a visit to one of the hypermarkets here to buy some grocery. And as I was wandering through the aisles, I could smell some delicious food. The aroma pulled me towards the hot food section.
Everything looked so yummy there, that I couldn’t choose which one to take. Husband was like take a little bit of all, hahaha! But I just wanted one dish, because soon after you break your fast, you drink a glass of water and eat one item and you’ll feel full. Cant eat anything more.
So I chose this beautiful chicken egg noodles, because it looked too tempting. And I was glad that I took it. It was just perfect. Fadal loved it and my little toddler enjoyed it too. 😀
So I wanted to recreate it in my kitchen. So I made it and it tasted great. Not exactly like the one I bought, but somewhat somewhere it tasted alike. So I thought I should share this recipe with all my lovely readers too. So here it is. Enjoy!! 🙂

- 250g bone chicken cut in strips
