Method
This is a recipe where everything needs to be done in advance before you turn your wok on the heat soooo…
Chop all your veg and herbs and leave separated on a plate. Using the same chopping board, cut your chicken into small pieces and leave aside. Now crack your eggs into a mug and using a fork, form a mixture then leave aside. Pour boiling water over your noodles and leave to soften in a large bowl, string around every now and then with tongs. If you’re using egg noodles, just use warm water. In a large mug or cup, stir around the sauce ingredients and leave aside. Check on your noodles now and drain. Don’t worry if they have tiny bite to them – you don’t want them overcooked.
OK! Great work – you’re ready to pop your wok on the highest heat you have. Heat up the oil until smokey then add the chicken. Fry around until white then transfer to a plate. Now pour your egg mixture in and stir around until an omelette scramble thing starts to form. Transfer also to a plate and slice up into bits.
Now fry up the onion, garlic and ginger in the hot wok – feel free to add a touch more oil if you want. Once your kitchen smells amazing add the carrot and stir fry for a minute or so before adding the drained noodles. Fry around before pouring over the sauce mixture, chicken, egg, broccoli and beans. Fry for a couple of minutes, coating all the noodles in the sauce and heating though the veg then turn off the heat. Stir through the bean sprouts and coriander and have a taste. If you want a slightly punchier taste – add a tbs more soy and sriracha otherwise you’re good to nom away!
Kitchen notes...
Noodles…
I use Laksa Rice Noodles which are a slightly thicker vermicelli. You can use egg noodles (or two minute noodles) if that’s your preference.
Chinese Cooking Wine…
Or Shaoxing Cooing Wine can be substituted for mirin or rice wine vinegar.
