Instructions

Cook the Noodles
1

a) Bring a saucepan of water up to the boil with 0.5 tsp of salt for the noodles. b) When boiling, add the noodles and cook for 4 mins. c) Drain in a sieve, return to the pan (off the heat) and cover with cold water - this will stop them sticking.

Fry the Chicken
2

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan or wok on medium-high heat. b) When hot, add the diced chicken breast and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 mins.

Prep
3

a) Meanwhile, halve the plums, remove the stones and chop each half into three wedges. b) Trim the spring onion and thinly slice. c) Halve the red chilli, deseed and finely chop. d) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Stir-fry Time
4

a) Lower the heat to medium and add the plums to the pan with the chicken. b) Stir-fry until the plums start to colour, 1-2 mins. c) Stir in the garlic and ginger purée along with half the spring onion and as much chilli as you like. d) Stir-fry for another minute.

Finish up
5

a) Add the mangetout and stir-fry until just tender, 1-2 mins. b) Stir in the hoisin sauce, ketjap manis and 1 tbsp water per person, ensuring everything is well coated. c) Drain the noodles and add them to the pan. Stir together and cook until everything is piping hot, 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Serve
6

a) Divide the chicken and plum noodles between your bowls and scatter over the peanuts and remaining spring onion.

7

Step 2 MOD:

a) If you've chosen to receive diced chicken breast instead of diced chicken thigh, just cook it the same way the recipe tells you to cook the diced thigh in the step above and in the rest of the recipe.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the unique combination of plum, hoisin sauce, and peanuts, though some found the plums too tart or sour.
  • Ease of prep: Customers praised the dish as quick, easy to prepare, and straightforward to follow.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding plums later to prevent disintegration; some preferred less mangetout or suggested cutting it into smaller pieces.
  • Portions: Several mentioned generous portion sizes, while others felt there wasn't enough chicken or sauce for two people.
  • Texture: The crunchy peanuts and mangetout provided a nice contrast to the tender chicken and noodles.
