Ingredients

  • 2 skinless chicken breast fillets, sliced into strips
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 40g root ginger, ½ grated and ½ finely shredded
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 x 300g pack quick-to-cook udon noodles
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced
  • 1 x 200g pack pak choi, chopped

Step by step

  1. In a non-metallic bowl, mix the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, the grated ginger and half the garlic. Set aside, or cover and chill for up to 24 hours.
  2. Pour a kettle of boiling water over the noodles in a sieve to soften and separate them. Leave to drain in the sieve.
  3. Heat a wok or large frying pan on a medium heat and add the sesame seeds. Toast for 30 seconds-1 minute. Tip out and leave to cool.
  4. Turn the heat to medium-high and heat the oil. Add the shredded ginger, remaining garlic, chilli and spring onions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken with its marinade and stir-fry for 5 minutes until the chicken turns opaque. Add the drained noodles and the pak choi and stir gently for 5 minutes until the pak choi has wilted and the chicken is cooked. Add the rest of the soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Divide between 2 bowls.
