Chicken and shiitake stir fry

Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil, or other oil with a high cooking temperature
  • 120g mini chicken breast fillets, cut into small bite size pieces
  • 120g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 spring onions, sliced in half lengthways, and into quarters
  • Thumb sized piece of ginger, grated or 1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar, runny honey or other syrup
  • Fine egg noodles (around 125g dried)

Method

Utensils: Large frying pan and large saucepan

Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions.

At the same time, heat the oil on a high heat in a large deep-sided frying pan or wok.  Add the chicken pieces to the pan, stirring continuously – try not to let it colour.

After 2 minutes, check if the chicken is nearly cooked through – if you can break a piece in half easily with a wooden spatula it should be cooked.  Add the mushrooms and ginger and a splash of water, continuing to stir. Cook for a further minute.

Stir through the spring onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar and agave nectar.  Simmer on a low heat for 30 seconds, then serve with the noodles.
