Chicken chow mein

Ingredients

For 4 portions

• 🍜 250g noodles (dry)
• 🍗 300g chicken breast (raw, boneless)
• 🍄 100g mushrooms
• 🥕 1 medium carrots
• 🧅 3 medium spring onions
• 🧄 2 cloves garlic
• 🥣 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 🦪 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
• 🏺 1 Tsp sesame oil
• 🏺 2 Tbsp peanut oil
• 🌿 1 Tbsp fresh coriander

Method

1. Cook the noodles according to the packet, drain and rinse under cold water to stop them sticking. Toss with a drop of sesame oil if you like.
2. Slice the chicken into thin strips. Slice the mushrooms, julienne the carrot and slice the spring onions.
3. Heat the peanut oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Stir-fry the chicken for 3–4 minutes until just cooked through and lightly coloured. Add the minced garlic and cook for 20 seconds.
4. Add the mushrooms and carrot and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the carrot is still crisp.
5. Tip in the noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together over high heat for 1–2 minutes so the noodles are hot and coated.
6. Add most of the spring onions and toss for another 30 seconds. Serve immediately with the remaining spring onions and a scatter of fresh coriander.
