Ingredients

  • 300g dried fine egg noodles
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, plus a little extra
  • 4 skinless chicken breast fillets, sliced into strips
  • a splash of dark soy sauce
  • 1-2 tsp five-spice powder
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 red peppers, deseeded and finely sliced
  • 300g bean sprouts
  • 2 large spring onions, trimmed and sliced lengthways
  • 4 tbsp light soy sauce

Step by step

  1. In a pan of boiling water, cook the noodles for 3 minutes. Drain, run under cold water and toss with a little sesame oil.
  2. Mix the chicken with the dark soy sauce and coat with the five-spice and cornflour. Heat the two tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat, then add the chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked.
  3. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the bean sprouts and spring onion and stir-fry briefly.
    Tip
    Chow mein means 'stir noodle', or stir-fried noodle and couldn't be easier!
  4. Add the noodles and season with the light soy sauce and the remaining sesame oil.
