This recipe is to die for
Fed 3 adults comfortably
Taste is amazing
Will become a regular in the household
Super delicious! This will definitely be a regular in our house, especially because all the ingredients are actually things I usually have on hand. Made with beef strips as I had them defrosted already, will try chicken next time ?
Is the measurements for tablespoons or teaspoons for the recipe ? Thanks
T = Tablespoon
t = teaspoon
Easy, Quick, Cheap meal of deliciousness!! Full of flavour. I added green beans and snow peas 1/2 off the chicken being cooked.
This will definitely be cooked regularly in my home. Great recipe!!
Could you make this in a bigger slow cooker. I only have a 6lt one.
Yes you can Sarah, just be mindful that a bigger cooker when emptier will be hotter so just keep an eye on it and reduce times if you think it’s done sooner 🙂
Tried this recipe and loved it. I added cashews and pineapple. Made enough to freeze two more meals for me.
I made this recipe first time last night. Very tasty.
This is absolutely delicious ?
Even great rating from all the kids (which never happens lol).
Will be a regular meal ?
If adding extra vegetables show I increase the liquid?
Depends on the vegetables yes you may need some 🙂
Made this for the first time this week. Added less ginger by accident but would add even less next time. (2 out of 3 not big ginger fans) Son has commented several times how nice it was. Hint hint. I especially like that it’s a recipe that does not include packets or jars.
Had for dinner last night, was delicious, had a tiny bit of spice from the sweet chilli so if you don’t like spicy Mabey less sauce but sooooo good!
Made this a couple of nights ago – we all loved it! We will definitely be doing it again!
Wow, what a brilliant recipe with awesome flavor – everyone loved it!!! We doubled the chicken and the sauces, wound back on the ginger and used spring onions in place of shallots. I also never use cornflour slurry’s as i don’t like how they affect taste. The outcome was brilliant and we’re already ready to do it again!!!!!!
I bought dry egg noodles. Should I pre cook them before adding into slow cooker?
The kind you have to soak first? If they are the soft pasta kind from the shelf they are the right ones but if yours are hard and dry yep pre soak first
Would love to see more recipes this looks yum will definitely be giving it a go
I love this recipe..it will go into my favourites for sure..I used spring onions instead of shallots. As I don’t yet possess a searing slow cooker I didn’t sear the chicken before I put it in the slow cooker…I am a bit lazy that way…I didn’t add veg as I was cooking this for the next evening’s meal…I just added the veg 1/2 cooked in the microwave before I heated it up. Great flavourful dish?
Love this recipe. 11 year old fussy eater loved it huge bonus. Doubled recipe added snow peas and water crest (tin).
A new regular in this house.
Thank you Pauline
Thinking of making this
Do you do double the time if double the chicken please.
No it would still be a similar time 🙂 Be sure to still do step 1
This recipe is absolutely amazing.
Will definitely be making again
Who would’ve thought you could make this in a slow cooker.
I need to give this a 6 star rating
I was not disappointed with this recipe. I double and a halved the recipe and the entire family (3 adults) loved it. Would definitely do it again.
Can you use chicken breast instead of thighs
Yes it’s just not as moist
great taste
OMG this dish is Devine.
Hubby is a fussy eater and he has said I can cook it again
This was absolutely delicious and will be a regular on our dinner menu
Made it last night and everyone loved it. It says ‘yields 2’ but with added veg (beans, snow peas, carrot & red capsicum – added about 15 min before it finished) and 1 and 1/2 quantities of sauces, it fed 4 people.
Yum!!! I doubled everything except the sweet chilli and ginger and it was devoured by my fussy family. We’ll get 2 meals out of this for 2 adults and 2 boys aged 10 & 16. Will be on the menu again for sure.
Made this for dinner tonight and was not disappointed after all the glowing reviews. Full of flavour and very tasty. Made exactly as recipe except I did not need the cornflour slurry. Will certainly be making again. Thanks for a terrific recipe Pauline.
Just confirming that yields 2 means 2 adult servings?
Correct 🙂
Question: I tbsp cornflour to 1 tsp water?
Both Tablespoon
Delicious! Although hubby and son found it a little hot for their liking so will reduce the sweet chilli sauce next time!
This is the ? recipe….better than take-away….oh this will be on the permanent cooking list…??????
I added bok choy in this and coriander to the garnish! Was absolutely beautiful.
Love this recipe
I had to change a it a little. I used rice noodles instead of egg noodles and I used fountain honey/soy sauce instead of sweet soy, cause I haven’t been able to find one gluten free. All this is only due to my husband is celiac, so he can’t have any gluten at all in anything.
I also added some mixed veggies too
Absolutely delicious!!
I am disappointed….. at myself! For not reading the serving size and ripping myself off more of this delicious recipe. Can’t wait to make it again (a double batch) yum!
Seriously amazing dish and I have only tried it with already cooked bbq chook!! Can’t wait to try it with raw chicken!! Flavours are amazing and even fussy 15yr old ate it
Love love love this recipe! Even the fussy child loved it!
Yummo. Made a couple of changes tho being over chicken.
Substituted 450g diced lamb fat removed
Added 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets and added with the sauces
Pre scrambled 2 eggs and added with the shallots, sprouts etc
Used only 1 tbsp ginger
Cooked all up for aprox 4 hrs on low all up
Really yummy. Hubby wants it added to regular meal rotation
Instead of thin egg noodles could I add rice noodle for last 5/10 minutes as they usually only need adding to a bowl of boiling water for a couple of minutes don’t usually have to cook them
great recipe My husband loves it Made it for dinner but ended up eating it for lunch -it was delicious thank you enough for 4
Absolutely delicious and easy to cook.
Made this the other night
Hubby thought it was fantastic ?
Will be a regular in our house
Yummy!!!! Empty bowls all round which is a winner when it comes to 2 kids trying new dishes. I added some water chestnuts for some crunch. When I asked my husband what he thought his reply was “so when are you making that again?” Definitely going to be a regular in our house
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Its the best!!!! First time used cornflour to thicken but not a fan of taste so haven’t used again. No problem.
The best !!!
I have fussy eaters and it made my 2 year old who doesn’t talk say “more” it was a winner, if I could give more than 5 stars I would
It was great family loved it. Definately make again
Missed my slow cooker when I became a great nomad. Bought a small one at Kmart. Thought I would give this ago as it didn’t take all day to cook and was keen to try the slow cooker out. It was amazing and very tasty. Being a cook I usually don’t follow recipes much. Perfect the way it is. Would change it
Made this a few weeks ago and we both loved it full of flavour will certainly make it again soon
Am I better to use a smaller slow cooker as in 4 Ltr rather than larger
Yep if you have the option of two sizes, go with the smaller. An emptier bigger one will cook hotter/faster 🙂
Had for dinner tonight was really yummy added broccoli and bok Choi as someone else did was lovely awesome flavour definitely on our menu rotation. Son said better than bought Me Goreng thanks Pauline
100% one of the most delicious things I’ve ever slow cooked! Loved by the whole family, the only complaint is there is never any leftovers , I cook it at least once every few weeks and if I don’t my family is asking for it mmmm
OMG. This was amazing! I doubled everything because we’re a family of 6, and because I was running late today I put it in the oven (sorry). Added carrots and capsicum that needed to be used. Definitely added to the rotation.
This was Delicious, so easy and all done in slow cooker amazing: Will be cooking this again and again.
Milena Love this recipe was so delicious carn’t believe it’s cooked in the slow cooker
We absolutely loved this, so easy and so yummy, definitely going on our favourite list
Loved it. Easy to make. Having leftovers tonight
This is a lovely meal! Easy and delicious! A winner! ?
We had this for the first time last night and it was really good but quite salty despite using low salt soy sauce. Is there any way to remedy this? Otherwise it was delicious. I made it the day before and refrigerated it and I don’t know if this made a difference to it. Would definitely make it again though!
You know that feeling when your so full that you feel you couldn’t possibly have another spoon but the food is that good you do it anyway ? Well this meal made me so full I kept eating because the taste was just AMAZING, I didn’t want to stop tasting it ?, my 2 year old also loved it, so glad I tried this !! Definitely a new favourite
Best recipe I have found, house hold favourite now, so quick and easy and best of all super yummy!
This was a great discovery thx. Hubby & me really enjoyed this. Will be a regular!
Very tasty meal. I added bok choy and carrot (cut into matchsticks) when adding the noodles, and the end result was plenty for 4 serves, not 2. Next time I would add two bunches of bok choy, as we found the dish a little sauce-heavy (plus we like veg!).
DELICIOUS!! My fussy eater husband had one mouth full and said oh yum this is a 9.5 out of 10. Then after his second mouthful said actually this is a 10 out of 10. It’s a definite winner in our household. Thanks Paulene you nailed it ??
Kids absolutely loved this one. Will be on our rotation as so easy to make.
This dish is packed with flavour. I doubled the recipe because l had just over a kilo of chicken but the only ingredient l didnt double was the ginger because l dont like a strong ginger flavour. Highly recommend this recipe.
This has so many raving reviews and I think that maybe my taste preference is a reflection of this review and maybe not the recipe itself, but this wasn’t my favourite, whilst it was very juicy and had flavour, I found it really ginger heavy and kinda watery, I didn’t hate it, and I did alter it, I doubled the recipe but not the ginger (still too much for me) and added 2 bunches of bok choy
Added 1/4 cabbage and leek at the start, capsicum and snow peas at the end. Also used pre soaked rice noodles as we are gluten-free. Kids loved it too!
This would have to be one of the nicest stir frys I’ve ever eaten. Leftovers heated in the microwave the next day make for a tasty easy lunch too.
Um……awesome!!! This is the closest to noodlebox i’ve ever had and so easy in the slow cooker!!!! This recipe is a winner!!!!
Absolutely delicious!!! Will be making this for my son and daughter-in-law next time they come over dinner. Thank you for this ?????????? recipe xx
Had this tonight and it was incredible. Been wanting to make it for months and finally got around to it and it did not disappoint! My 4 year old had three bowls, will definitely be making this whenever I can!!
This is absolutely delicious and filling, a go to for me since the cook time is less. I don’t add ginger because I’m not a fan, and add a smidge more kecap manis because that stuff is the bomb, and a little less sweet chilli sauce so it’s not overly spicy.
Love it. A family favourite, but we use less sweet chilli sauce and use broccoli and carrots instead.
Really lovely meal. Just the right amt of heat for us.
I added capsicum and carrots to it.
Might try beef strips next time…hubby isnt a huge fan of chicken but enjoyed this.
This is absolutely delicious!
I was a bit worried that I wouldn’t like it but oh my goodness it is better than takeout Mee Goreng!
The only thing different I did was I didn’t use a low sodium soy sauce, and I actually added a few dashes more because it tasted like it just needed a little bit of salt.
Reviews are spot on, DELICIOUS ?
Only thing different, I added 1 carrot and half capsicum.
First time trying, everyone loved it. As we like heaps of veggies with all our meals I doubled the sauce and added a bag of frozen Asian veggies about 10 /15 mins before serving just to heat them through.
Definitely nice easy and delicious recipe to add to my file
Loved the simplicity of this menu
Everyone ate it (& enjoyed it)
Highly recommend this recipe
Thanks Paulene!
Yum, easy easy, could double vegies to go in it, keep adding water and you get more sauce, spreads it further.. feeds 4 good sized serves..
This was so good. Flavourful cheap and easy to make. 3 generations ate this without complaints and some went back for seconds. Even tastier heated up the next day for lunch. Will definitely be adding this to the rotation.
Another winner that I had forgotten about as there is soo many. Delicious ?
Very yummy. I added julienne carrots, broccoli and capsicum.
Next time I will add a little chilli and cashews
We got 4 serves.
Definitely making this again.
This was absolutely delicious! I added julienned carrots at the start and sliced red capsicum and mushrooms just before the end. It made enough for 4 serves. So yummy! ?
Hi
2 pkts shelf ready thin egg noodles (440g)… does this mean we use 880g of noodles in total?
Thanks
440g total Cindy 🙂
Loved this ,so tasty. Hubby is not a fan of pasta, rice or noodles but he LOVED this. This was a WINNER.. So easy to make. I used chicken breast and only 1 tablespoon ginger and didn’t add shallots as I didn’t have any. Was yum..
omg loved this recipe i took out the ginger though as im not a fan of it and used seafood marinara mix and seafood highlights instead of chicken and as a seafood lover it was the bomb and had heap left over as im only a small eater soooooooo making this again
I love that I now have a new version to try too! Thanks so much for sharing your variation Jennifer 🙂
Would be great to know how many calories in each dish
Maybe something to aim for in the future
If counting calories is something you do, you can easily input the ingredients into your calorie counter and have them 🙂
This would have to be one of the tastiest and easiest Asian meals to make. A huge hit with the family.
tried out this recipe after seeing it the other day and trust me when I say, it did NOT disappoint!!! Was so tasty and was easy to make also with minimal ingredients but was NOT lacking in yumminess !! Will definitely be making this one again!! Even got compliments from the wife on how well it turned out!!
Love your feedback Rick – thank you!
This dish is amazing , family loved it.
This is the second time I’ve made this. Hubby LOVES IT And scoffs it each time. I don’t think it’s bad or anything but not one of my favs. I used full sugar sweet chilli and full salt soya sauce because that what I had in the cupboard. Then added carrot, capcicum and Brocolli. It’s a good recipe so I will rate it highly, but flavour just isn’t to my taste.
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe how simple and delicious this is. Takes me back to Bali, next time I will add some chopped up omelette. I will definitely be making this again!
Taste is amazing, now a family favourite. Very easy to make with minimum ingredients but great taste.
Kinda misread the recipe in my haste to get it on during my lunch break and get back to work on time and just threw everything in the slow cooker at once with no pre cooking. Super tasty with a bit of a kick of something… Would definitely make this again and again, perhaps with slightly less ginger.
I printed this recipe out for my son who’s recently moved out on his own for the first time. He’s not had much cooking experience so the slow cooker is perfect. He absolutely loved this recipe and how easy it is to make. It’s become one of his favourites.
Delish!!
Oh my, we loved this dish so much. Wish I cooked more haha ? ? 10/10
What awesome feedback – thanks Kate! 🙂
Loved this, simple to make and the flavours were amazing ! Will definitely be adding to our list of favourites. Thanks
Absolute perfection, every time I make this dish. I love it sooooo much ? ?
Loved by whole family and even though I doubled all ingredients 2 pkts of noodles were enough and did not need cornflour. Another winner ????
Delicious! I tweaked this recipe to suit my family taste buds and on 3rd attempt I managed to get everyone to eat it so a win for me. I used chicken breast stirfry strips and I halved the ginger, I also prefer to use the instant noodles I just like the texture better. Lovely recipe it has now been added to a dinner rotation.
tried this recipe tonight and was beautiful!
Very tasty easy to cook recipe. I added green beans and capsicum not long before serving. Definitely making this again.
Would be helpful if recipes stated “low or high setting” with the cooking time.
Hi Kelli … recipe states low 🙂
love, love, love this. I double this and have heaps of left overs (cooking for 1) to take to work for lunches. Every time I heat it up everyone at work comments “who’s is that delicious smelling food”. think I’ve sent the link for recipe to at least 10 people.
Love that Christine! Thanks for sharing the love around 🙂
Yummo!! Will try adding some veggies next time to get more into the kids! Family of 5 and everyone ate it!!
love this! first time cooking a meal in the slow cooker that didn’t have that generic slow cooking taste. I did add only 1 tablespoon on ginger for our tastes. it really was a great recipe and easy to make. I’m making it again right now as I’m typing this! ? definitely need a side of veggies with it. otherwise I might just eat more of it than you should lol
Family favourite and always a hit. I always do extra because it’s so popular in my house. Sometimes I add a capsicum, snow peas or some leafy greens, depending what I have. I leave out the stock and cornflour slurry. This meal always guarantees compliments to the chef. Thank you for creating and sharing this delicious dish Paulene ?
I made this last weekend for work lunches.
I had dry egg noodle (cooked to pkt instructions)
I didn’t have bean sprouts or spring onion
And I used store brought chook stock. And large brown onion
So wonderful and re heats and freezes well.
Today I made my own chook stock and will be
Making 2 dump bags for future use !!
DEFINITELY USE LARGE COOKER LIKE PAULENE SAYS!!
my 3L was too small after noodles were added
Love love love this dish.
Full of flavour, easy meal to put together.
This dish will be on repeat.
Next time I will use 1 packet of noodles, increase the sauce also ? ? ???
Absolutely delicious! Cooked for the first time and my family LOVED it! Doubled everything to make a huge batch and have leftovers for lunch. Will definitely cook this again.
Another delicious delight!
I made this with hoisin sauce & pad Thai noodles instead of kecap manis & egg noodles as I had none at home and didn’t want to drive to the shop.
I also added some thinly sliced onion, grated onion & carrot.
What a ripper of a dish. We will be having this again . Yum.
An absolute favourite in our house with 3 adult children. It’s a regular appearance on the menu. Love it Paulene.
Thanks Joanne! 🙂 🙂
Oh Lordy Lordy….this is the best….better than takeaway any day, Hubby and I absolutely Loved this, I did add Water Chestnuts and Bamboo Shoots….Hubby even asked if this could be a weekly dinner 10/10
Saturday Night slowcooker menu: This was so easy and so so delicious it really would serve 3 medium helpings as hubby raced back to the kitchen for seconds Highly Recommend
Cooked this recipe last night but I’m sorry Paulene but we didn’t like it & won’t be making again. Thank goodness that there are loads of tasty recipes on this site.
A firm favorite in our house. Making this tonight ready for tomorrow night’s hectic schedule of drop off and pick ups.
I have used this recipe for the second time. My first time was with chicken and everyone enjoyed it.
Today I didn’t have chicken so I decided to try beef mince as I couldn’t get to a store. Let me just say it was delicious. I precooked the mince then drained any left over juices and place in the slow cooker 😋
So great to know of this great version option too Josie – thanks!! 🙂
So if I am doubling the recipe how many packets of the thin egg noodle (440g) do I need? 4 seems way too much.
They aren’t overly large – if you pick up the pack in the shop and have a look you’ll see 🙂
Yes I would double it if it’s a main meal for 4 people
Amazing recipe, super easy to prepare.
I left out the bean sprouts.
a dish that all 5 kiddos absolutely love, it’s definitely a winner in my household.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your awesome 5 star review Jarna 🙂
Absolutely delish and will be on rotation in this house 😋
Thank you for your fab 5 star review Sue!!
Tripped the recipe as we have 5 in the house, absolutely delish 3rd time making this 😋 also added grated carrots
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review Sue – we so appreciate it 🙂
Did you make any changes to time based on triple the amount?
have made this recipe a few times now and hubby always goes back for seconds. we will continue enjoying this one for a longtime yet
Love that feedback! Thanks Cheryl 🙂
So easy and delicious, now on rotation permanently. Hubby loved it
So happy you enjoyed it! And thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback 🙂
