• portions: 2 servings
• temps actif: 30 minutes
• temps total: 40 minutes

Ingrédients

150g/5oz medium egg noodles

dash toasted sesame oil

300g/11oz skinless chicken breast fillets, sliced into strips

2 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tsp five-spice powder

1 tsp chilli sauce (optional)

1 tbsp cornflour

1 tbsp groundnut oil

1 red pepper, seeds removed and thinly sliced

150g/5oz beansprouts

1 spring onion, sliced lengthways

freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling water for 2–3 minutes, until al dente, or according to packet instructions. Drain, then rinse under cold running water and drain again. Drizzle with a dash of sesame oil and toss through to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other.

Put the chicken strips in a bowl and season with a dash of light soy sauce, the five-spice powder and chilli sauce, if using. Mix well, then lightly dust the chicken strips with the cornflour.

Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil, then add the chicken and stir fry for 3–4 minutes, or until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked through.

Add the red pepper and stir fry for 1 minute, then add the bean sprouts and spring onion and stir fry for 30 seconds. Stir in the cooked noodles and season with the soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and freshly ground black pepper.

Pile the noodles onto a serving plate and serve immediately.
