Marinate the chicken

  • Finely grate the ginger, then put half into a mixing bowl with the tamari and oyster sauce.
  • On a separate board, cut the chicken into thin strips, add to the mixing bowl and set aside.

Prep & fry the veg

  • Peel the onion and cut it into 6 wedges, then slice the spring onions into 2cm pieces. Deseed the peppers and dice into 2cm squares.
  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Fry the onion, spring onions and peppers for 5-6 mins.

Boost the flavour

  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the chilli (deseed for less heat). Peel and crush the garlic. Stone the mango and dice the flesh into 2cm cubes.
  • Add the garlic and remaining ginger to the pan and fry for 2 mins.
  • Tip in the chicken and marinade and cook for 4-5 mins, until the chicken is browned all over.
  • Add the mangetout and half the chilli (to taste). Crumble in the stock, pour in 100ml water (150ml for 4 portions) and stir well, then simmer for 4-5 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

Cook the noodles

  • At the same time, cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 mins. Drain, then rinse.

Bring everything together

  • Toss the chicken and vegetables with the noodles.
  • Serve with the diced mango and scatter the remaining chilli (to taste) on top.
