First, using a ridged grill pan heated to a fairly high heat and that has been lightly oiled, take the chicken meat and cook, having first added a pinch of salt and pepper, for approximately 10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through. Once cooked take the chicken breasts and place on a cutting board, allowing them to cool down.

Next take the wheat noodles and boil for approximately 5 minutes, before draining all excess liquid and rinsing them under cold water. Next divide the noodles between the 2 plates and place the carrot, sow peas and cucumber around them. Once the chicken has cooled cut it into thin slices and add to the plates. The sauce can either be used for drizzling over the plates or as a dip.
