Instructions

Do the Prep
1

Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the noodles. Meanwhile, trim the spring onion and then thinly slice. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the red chilli lenghways, deseed and finely chop. Trim the green beans then chop into thirds. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for 4 mins. Drain in a sieve.

Make the Sauce
2

Meanwhile, pop the ginger, garlic, chilli (use less if you don't like spice!), soy sauce, honey and sesame seeds into a small bowl and mix together.

Stir-Fry the Chicken
3

Pop a frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the chicken along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until browned, 5 mins. If your pan is small, cook the chicken in batches as you want it to fry rather than stew. Add the green beans and half the spring onion. Stir-fry for a further 5 mins.

Cook the Noodles
4

When your chicken is cooked through and your beans are tender, pour the sauce made in step 2 into the pan. Important: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle. Stir together and cook for 1-2 mins, then add the cooked noodles. Toss together and cook for another minute until everything is nicely combined and piping hot.

Finish up
5

Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all) and roughly chop the peanuts (or pop them in a freezer bag and bash them with a frying pan - depending on your mood!).

Serve
6

Serve your noodles and chicken in bowls with the a sprinkling of coriander, peanuts and the remaining spring onion. If you have any leftover chopped chilli, sprinkle that on too for a bit of kick. Enjoy!
