Add the vegies to the noodles in the last three minutes of cooking time.

- When the noodles and vegies are cooked but still crisp, season the broth to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Divide into 4 bowls being generous with your portions, slice the pan fried chicken and place on top of the vegies. Garnish with the remaining chilli and coriander and serve.
