Instructions

1

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil for the noodles. Meanwhile, trim the spring onion then thinly slice. 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.

2

Meanwhile, pop the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey and sesame seeds into a small bowl and mix together.

3

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 mangetout and half the spring onion. Stir-fry for a further 4-5 mins.

4

When your chicken is cooked through and your mangetout 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.

5

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

6

Serve your noodles in bowls with a sprinkle of peanuts and the remaining spring onion. Enjoy!
