Cut the chicken breast fillets crosswise into 0.5 cm thick slices and then halve these again. Marinate the meat in a mixture of 2/3 light soy sauce and 1/3 oyster sauce, along with a little sugar. I can’t specify the amounts here, as it depends on the bowl. I always use about 3 tablespoons and “knead” it a bit. Let the noodles soak in hot water according to the package instructions, usually a little less than directed, and then drain. Grate the carrots into thin strips. Finely dice the garlic and ginger. Slice the bell peppers. Cut the onions into large wedges, then slice them crosswise and separate them. Heat a large pan (I use a 32 cm skillet or a saucepan), spread the meat on the bottom, and wait briefly. Stir and cook until cooked through—it won’t actually fry, but it won’t boil either. Then add the coconut oil, heat it up, and add the vegetables, except for the ginger. Briefly fry, then add the garlic and set aside. Add the Thai curry powder and sugar to the empty pan, toast, then deglaze with the two soy sauces (light and Ketjap Manis) and the oyster sauce, and stir through. Add the noodles, stir through, season with salt and pepper, and season well with soy and oyster sauce. Drizzle with the sesame oil, stir, and you’re done. I cook this batch for the three of us and heat up the leftovers in the microwave for lunch the next day—it works great.
