Ingredients for Chicken Stir Fry Noodles

• 500 g boneless chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced

• 400 g fresh hokkien or stir fry noodles

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced

• 1 carrot, thinly sliced

• 1 small broccoli, cut into small florets

• 2 spring onions, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

For the Stir Fry Sauce:

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce

• 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

• ¼ cup water

• 1 teaspoon cornflour

Optional:

• Sesame seeds

• Extra spring onion

• Chilli flakes or sliced chilli

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the noodles. Cook or loosen the noodles according to the packet directions, then drain and set aside.

2. Make the sauce. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sesame oil, water and cornflour until smooth.

3. Cook the chicken. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes, tossing regularly, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. Stir fry the vegetables. Add the carrot and broccoli to the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the capsicum and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

5. Add the aromatics. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. Return the chicken. Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and toss through the vegetables.

7. Add the noodles and sauce. Add the noodles, then pour over the sauce. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes until the noodles are hot and evenly coated.

8. Serve hot. Scatter with spring onions and sesame seeds if using, then serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

• Prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking because stir fries come together quickly.

• Slice the chicken thinly and evenly so it cooks fast without drying out.

• Don't overcook the vegetables — a little crunch gives the finished dish better texture.

• If the noodles begin sticking together, add a small splash of water while tossing.
