You will need

½ cup (125 ml) of hot water
1 x 25 g Ina Paarman’s Liquid Chicken Stock
4 skinless chicken breasts
Ina Paarman’s Masala Spice
3 sticks of celery
1 bunch spring onions, very finely sliced diagonally
2 red-skinned apples unpeeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 cup (500 ml) of raw screw noodles, cooked and drained
¾ cup (180 ml) Ina Paarman’s Honey Mustard Dressing
salad greens
½ cup (125 ml) roughly chopped pecan nuts, lightly toasted

Method

Bring the water and Chicken Stock to the boil.
Season chicken generously with Masala Spice, add the chicken breasts to the stock and turn the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes only. Turn the chicken, replace the lid on the pan, remove the pan from the stove and leave the chicken in the stock to cool for 10 minutes. Toss the celery with the spring onions and apples. Slice the chicken across the grain into 5 mm thick slices. Return it to the stock to soak up moisture for 5 minutes.
Drain and toss the chicken and noodles in Honey Mustard Dressing. Fold in celery, apples and spring onions. Place salad greens around edge of plate and pile chicken in the middle. Sprinkle over nuts. Serve with crusty bread and butter, and a Late Harvest Wine, well chilled.
