Recipes from Le Tasting Room’s kitchen – spicy stir fried chicken with noodles

A super easy recipe for you that is really tasty and perfect for a mid-week supper. Light and low in calories, it’s healthy but there is heaps of flavour. I use instant noodles (just ditch the flavouring sachet!).

For 2 generous servings you will need:

1 tablespoon of light soy sauce

1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce

2 tablespoons of oyster sauce

1 teaspoon of mirin or rice wine (not essential if you don’t have it)

1 teaspoon of sesame oil

2 chicken breasts sliced finely

Half a red pepper and half a yellow pepper or a whole one of one colour sliced finely

A couple of handfuls of mange tout sliced finely

A piece of fresh ginger (around 3cm peeled and finely shredded)

2 cloves of garlic peeled and finely sliced

A red onion finely sliced

Instant wok noodles (the type that come flavoured and you pour boiling water on). Open the packet and ditch the sachet of flavouring.

Method

• Heat a tablespoon of neutral oil in a wok or non stick frying pan and when hot quickly fry the ginger, garlic and onion
• Add the sliced chicken and stir for a minute before pouring in the soy sauces, oyster sauce, mirin and sesame oil.
• Fry for a minute or two and then add the peppers and mange tout. Continue cooking for a minute or two.
• Move the stir fry to one side and pour a little water into the pan (around 200ml per serving of noodles)

• Pop the noodles into the water and leave for a minute
• Turn over and leave for another minute

• Break the noodles up with a fork and mix in with the rest of your ingredients et voila!
