Cooking Instructions
Chop, chop!
- Halve the carrots lengthways and slice into ¼cm half-moons. Peel the onions and cut each into 8 wedges, then deseed and thinly slice the peppers. Trim the broccoli (or pak choi) and cut into bite-size pieces.
Start your stir-fry
- Spritz a non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium heat. Fry the chicken with the carrots, onions, peppers and broccoli (or pak choi) for 6-8 mins, until the chicken is browned and the veg are softened.
Boil the noodles
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain, then rinse.
Time to simmer
- Add the five-spice and tamari to the frying pan and cook for 1 min.
- Pour in the curry sauce along with 100ml water (150ml for 4 portions) and simmer for 2-3 mins, until hot through.
Finish & serve
- While the sauce simmers, thinly slice the spring onions, and finely chop the coriander.
- Stir the noodles through the saucy chicken and veg. To serve, sprinkle over the spring onions and coriander.
