Spicy Fried Noodles

Submitted by Sackville

"Here's an all-in-one supper dish that's quick to put together and colourful to serve. I got it out of a UK cooking magazine and for a special presentation, they recommend garnishing along the edges with wedges of cucumber and lime. You can substitute about 200g of shrimp for the chicken, if you like."
