Instructions

Cook the Noodles
1

a) Bring a saucepan of water up to the boil with 1/2 tsp of salt for the noodles. b) When boiling, add the noodles and cook for 4 mins. c) Drain in a sieve, run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together then return to the pan (off the heat).

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 and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4-5 mins. c) IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging.

Prep
3

a) Meanwhile, halve the plums, remove the stones and chop each half into three wedges. b) Trim the bok choy then thinly slice widthways. c) Trim and thinly slice the spring onion. 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 and sugar (see ingredients for amount) 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 puree along with half of the spring onion and as many chilli flakes as you like (careful - they're hot). d) Stir-fry for another minute.

Finish Up
5

a) Add the bok choy and stir-fry until just soft, 1-2 mins. b) Stir in the hoisin sauce, ketjap manis and water for the sauce (see ingredients for amount), 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. d) IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Serve
6

a) Divide the chicken and plum noodles between your bowls. b) Scatter over the peanuts and remaining spring onion. c) Enjoy!
