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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by bringing 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of canola oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and shallots to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the lean ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink, approximately 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Add the bean sprouts and fresh spinach leaves, stirring gently to combine. Cook until the vegetables are just tender, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Toss the cooked Mee Pok noodles into the skillet, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Step 9
Season with white pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.
Step 10
Plate the Mee Pok and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
