Ingredients

• Udon noodles - 200 grams
• Chicken breast (halal) - 150 grams, thinly sliced

• Bell pepper - 1 small, sliced
• Spinach - 100 grams

Steps

1. Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.
