Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.
Ingredients
- 180g (6.5 oz) chicken breast
- 75g (2.6 oz) rice noodles, dry
- 40g (2.5 tbsp) peanut butter
- 25g (1.5 tbsp) soy sauce
- 100g (1/2 large) cucumber, in ribbons
- 60g (1 medium) carrot, shredded
- 20ml (4 tsp) lime juice
- 6g (2 cloves) garlic, minced
- 8g (1.5 tsp) fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tsp chilli oil, 1 tsp honey, crushed peanuts, coriander
10 ingredients, each with the gram weight the macros above were computed from.
Method
- Poach the chicken whole in barely simmering salted water, 15 min, then shred it with two forks while warm.
- Warm meat drinks sauce; cold meat only gets coated in it.
- Soak the rice noodles in hot tap water 12 min, then drain and rinse cold.
- Whisk the peanut butter, soy, lime, vinegar, honey, garlic and ginger with 60ml / 1/4 cup warm water.
- Add the water gradually. Peanut butter seizes and goes stiff if you dump it in at once, then loosens into a smooth sauce as you work it in.
- Toss the noodles through two thirds of the sauce.
- Fold the shredded chicken through the remaining third separately, then pile it on the noodles.
- Top with the cucumber ribbons, carrot, chilli oil, peanuts and coriander.

How Plus worksTip: add the water to the peanut butter a little at a time. It will look broken and grainy at first - keep going and it comes together glossy.
