Ingredients

thread egg noodles 100g
skinless chicken breasts 2, cut into strips
cornflour 1 tsp
oil
spring onions 4, shredded
mange tout 50g, shredded
red pepper 1, sliced
soy sauce 2 tbsp
lemon 1, juiced
honey 1 tbsp
hot or sweet chilli sauce 2 tbsp (choose which you prefer)

Method

Step 1

Cook the noodles following the pack instructions. Toss the chicken with the cornflour and some seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick wok or large frying pan and stir-fry the chicken until golden. Scoop the chicken out, then add the veg to the pan, keeping back some spring onion, and toss for a couple of minutes.
Step 2

Add back the chicken and the lemon, honey and chilli sauce, plus a splash of water, and bubble for a few minutes until you have a sauce. Toss with the noodles and sprinkle over the remaining spring onion to serve.
