Method

  1. Place the noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 3 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside until needed.
  2. Warm the oil in a wok or large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 minutes, turning until cooked on all sides – if needed, add a tablespoon of water to help prevent sticking. Sprinkle over half of the curry powder and stir.
  3. Add the spring onions, chilli, garlic and ginger, and stir for 1 minute. Then add all the vegetables and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Sprinkle over the remaining curry powder and the soy sauce. Then add the noodles and mix thoroughly. Allow to cook for a further 1¬–2 minutes, checking that the largest pieces of chicken are cooked through. Serve immediately.

To use up leftover cooked chicken in this recipe, add to the heated pan and sprinkle with the curry powder straight away – there is no need to cook for 3 minutes as with raw chicken
