Instructions

1

Remove the root from the spring onion and thinly slice, separating the white and green parts. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the red chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop. Trim the tops from the green beans and chop them into three pieces.

2

Pop the ginger, garlic, chilli, soy sauce, honey and sesame seeds into a small bowl and mix together. Tip: Some like it hot, but if you’re not one of them just use less chilli!

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. 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 the whites of the spring onion. Stir-fry for a further 5 mins. Tip: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.

4

When the chicken is cooked through and the beans are tender, add the sauce to the pan. Stir together and cook for 1-2 mins. Next add the udon noodles. Toss together and cook  until everything is nicely combined and piping hot, another 1-2 mins.

5

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

6

Serve the noodles in bowls with a sprinkling of spring onion greens, coriander and peanuts. If you have any leftover chopped chilli and fancy some more heat, sprinkle that on too. Enjoy!
