Aim for 77-79°C, so it is completely off the bone).

Step 4: Add Sichuan peppercorn oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the crushed dry chillies along with the seeds and keep stirring for 3-5 minutes before removing from heat

Step 5: Combine the ingredients in the sauce mix and the fried chillies in a mixing bowl.

Step 6: Add the shredded chicken into the mixing bowl and give it a good toss.

Step 7: Cook the noodles as per pack instructions.

Step 8: Place the noodles on a plate, followed by the shredded chicken. Garnish with coriander, sprinkle with crushed peanuts
