Chinese Chicken Noodles

Don't be afraid to try out new tastes on your child. Here is a delicious chinese chicken noodles recipe.  It’s interesting because young children often like unusual flavours like curry, olives and teriyaki sauce. Try these chinese chicken noodles flavoured with a mild curry and coconut sauce. For adults you can increase the amount of chilli and curry.

It’s fun to let your child eat these with child friendly chopsticks that are joined at the top - they are easy enough for a three year old to use. I have lots of quick and easy recipes for foods from around the world in my books that children love  like Enchiladas' Quesadillas, Nasi Goreng,  Satay Chicken  Pad Thai Noodles and Teriyaki Beef.

My children are never fussy (6 & 4) and so it was no suprise that they found this dish really tasty, as did my husband who doesnt enjoy hot food,the chilli adds flavour and is not hot because of the coconut milk! I would highly reccomend and they love using chopsticks!
