Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Cornflour (See notes)
• 1 tbsp Soft dark brown sugar
• 2 Garlic cloves (Crushed)
• 4 tbsp Dark soy sauce
• 4 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 300 ml Chicken stock (A cube is fine)
• 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
• 650 g Chicken breast (approx x4) (Cut into strips)
• 2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
• 600 g Stir fry veg bag
• 250 g Dry noodles
• 4 Spring onions (Finely chopped (optional))

Method

1. Put the cornflour in a small bowl, add the sugar, garlic, and enough soy sauce to mix a smooth paste. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce and chicken stock. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
2. Place noodles in a separate bowl. Pour boiling water straight from the kettle over the noodles, pop a plate over the top and leave to soak while you cook the stir fry.
3. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and add the chicken with the 5 spice. Stir fry for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked.
4. Stir the noodles with a fork to make sure they are softening evenly.
5. Add the vegetable mix to the chicken and stir for a further 4-5 minutes until softened a little.
6. When the noodles are just cooked, drain.
7. Add the sauce to the chicken and vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened and coating the ingredients.
8. Add the drained noodles and toss to coat everything well. Garnish with the spring onions if using.
