01
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodle nests, let the water come back to a boil, then turn off the heat and let the noodles sit for about 5 minutes. Once they’re soft, drain them and set aside.

Step 2
Heat the peanut oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Toss in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, cooking just until the garlic starts to turn golden and fragrant. Add the chicken pieces along with the green onions and carrots, stirring frequently. Cook everything together until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.

Step 3
Next, stir in the water chestnuts, mushrooms, peanut butter, oyster sauce, curry powder, and soy sauce. Keep stirring until the peanut butter melts and blends into a smooth sauce.

Step 4
Finally, add the noodles to the pan and mix everything well. Cover the pan, lower the heat to very low or just keep it warm, and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes so the noodles soak up the flavors. Give it a good toss before serving and enjoy!
