Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Mee Pok noodles
- 150 grams Lean ground chicken
- 100 grams Bean sprouts
- 100 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 small Shallots
- 1 teaspoon Chili paste
- 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
- 1 teaspoon Canola oil
- 5 grams Cilantro leaves
- 0.5 whole Lime
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
Begin by bringing 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot.
Add the Mee Pok noodles to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender, stirring occasionally. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of canola oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and shallots to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Add the lean ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the fish sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, and chili paste into the chicken mixture. Cook for another minute until the meat is well-coated with the sauce.
Add the bean sprouts and fresh spinach leaves, stirring gently to combine. Cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Toss the cooked Mee Pok noodles into the skillet, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Season with white pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.
Plate the Mee Pok and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
