Instructions

Prep the Veggies
1

Fill and boil your kettle. Halve the pepper and remove the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Trim the green beans then chop into thirds.

Cook the Noodles

Add the noodles to a saucepan, cover with boiling water and pop on medium high heat. Simmer until tender, 4 mins. Drain in a colander, drizzle with oil and set aside.

Start the Stir Fry

Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper and stir-fry until golden, 4-5 mins. Add the pepper and green beans. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked, another 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Add the sauce

Lower the heat to medium, stir in the ketjap manis, 1 tbsp water per person, the chow mein paste and garnish. Stir-fry for 1 minute to dissolve.

Add the noodles
