Instructions
Bring a saucepan of water to the boil for the noodles. Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the spring onion. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press for your garlic if you have one). When boiling, add the noodles to the water and cook until tender, 4 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander. TIP: Run the noodles under cold water to stop them sticking together
Meanwhile, pop the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey and sesame seeds into a small bowl and mix together. Trim the green beans then halve.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, 5-6 mins. TIP: If your pan is small, cook the chicken in batches. You want the chicken to fry, not stew. Add the green beans and half the spring onion. Stir-fry for a further 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling chicken and its packaging.
When your chicken is cooked through and your green beans are tender, lower the heat to medium and pour the sauce you made in step 2 into the pan. Stir together and cook for 1-2 mins, then add the cooked noodles. Toss together and cook until everything is nicely combined and piping hot. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Roughly chop the peanuts.
Serve your noodles in bowls with a sprinkle of peanuts and the remaining spring onion. Enjoy!
