A delicious but super simple family meal of Sesame Honey Chicken & Vegetable Noodles. Ready in just 15 minutes!
Quick and easy family meals that the kids will actually eat - thats what we're all looking for isn't it?! There's nothing worse than spending an hour cooking dinner to have everyone refuse to eat it and so I'm always trying out new ideas for my fussy pair!
Speedy stir fries have always been a favourite of mine and so I decided to try out this kid-friendly recipe with a sweet honey and soy sesame sauce.
I've kept the veggies very simple, ones I know my kids will actually eat and that also cook quickly. For the carrot I used a vegetable peeler to create carrot shavings, helping them to cook really quickly.
I used egg noodles in my recipe which need to be cooked in a separate saucepan, but you could also use straight-to-wok noodles to make it even easier.

Can this be frozen? I really want to try it next week while I'm home alone but seems like it would be easier to make the full recipe rather than reducing the quantities
