Method

Heat the oil in large frying pan or wok. Stir fry the chicken until browned all over and cooked through. Removed the chicken from the pan and keep warm.

Ìý

Put the ginger, garlic, honey, soy sauce and water in the pan used for the chicken. Stir well over a medium heat for about a minute or two until the mixture bubbles and the garlic and ginger have softened. Let the sauce reduce slightly.

Ìý

Place the noodles in a pan of boiling water and simmer for four minutes until cooked.

Ìý

While the noodles are cooking, return the chicken to the pan along with the nuts and peppers. Stir fry over a medium-high heat for around 3-4 minutes. Add the spring onions if using.

Ìý

Drain the cooked noodles and add them to the rest of the ingredients. Give everything a really good stir over a high heat so the noodles are coated with the sauce and start to crisp up a little.

Ìý

Serve immediately.
