    1 In a heatproof bowl, place noodles and cover with boiling water. Stand for 8 minutes, or until tender. Separate noodles with a fork. Drain and rinse noodles under cold water then drain again.

    2 Meanwhile, sprinkle chicken with turmeric. Rub to coat. In a large non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned. Slice thickly.

    3 In a small bowl, combine soy and sweet chilli sauces. Divide noodles among 4 bowls. Arrange salad leaves, carrot, cucumber, coriander, avocado and chicken on top. Drizzle each with dressing and serve.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check turmeric, soy and sweet chilli sauces are gluten free.

    Make it low FODMAP: Choose a sweet chilli sauce without onion or garlic (or make your own), limit avocado to ½ avocado, about 2 tablespoons per serve.
