The Recipe

Step 1

Start by getting everything prepped as the cooking process is super quick.

Chop the carrots and peppers into strips around the same length, the thinner the better here.

Slice the spring onion and set aside.

Butterfly the chicken breast and cut into thin strips.

Cook the noodles as per packet instructions.

Step 2

Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in small bowl and set aside.

Slice the shallots and add to a hot pan with a glug of olive oil (around 1 tbsp). Cook for 5 mins until soft.

Step 3

Add the carrot, pepper, garlic and chicken to the pan and cook for about 5 until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 4

Push the veg and chicken to one side of the pan and crack the eggs in. Use chopsticks of a wooden spoon to scramble the eggs and then mix into the veg.

Step 5

Add the noodles, sauce, chopped nuts and green part of the spring onion to the pan and mix well - careful to not breakup your noodles.

Step 6

Serve with fresh coriander, slices of red chilli, sesame seeds and spring onion slices.
