Chilli, Garlic and Ginger Chicken Noodles

This is such a great summer recipe – fresh, delicious and light which makes it perfect for lunch or a light supper. We cooked the chicken in the Miele main oven a fan setting at 180C with 3 bursts of steam. The moisture plus function on the Miele main oven means perfect roasting results can be achieved with moisture through the combination of different operating modes. The bursts of steam in Moisture plus mode can also be programmed for greater convenience.
