Method
Cover the egg2 noodles with boiling water or cook according to the package instructions for 4–5 minutes until tender, then drain.
Cut the chicken1 into thin strips. Cut the carrot3 and pepper into matchsticks, thinly shred the cabbage, and mince the garlic9.
Heat a deep skillet with sunflower oil over high heat. Fry the chicken1 for 4–5 minutes, until the pieces turn white5 and lightly brown.
Add the carrot3, pepper, cabbage, and garlic9. Stir-fry for 4 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables soften slightly.
Add the noodles, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Heat through for 2 minutes, toss, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the chicken into thin strips so it cooks in 4–5 minutes and doesn't dry out while the vegetables stay crisp.
- Substitutions
- Replace the egg noodles with spaghetti of the same weight. Swap the white cabbage for Chinese cabbage, it softens faster.
- Common mistakes
- A common mistake is overcooking the vegetables: they darken, release a lot of juice and turn soft after just 5–6 minutes.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan for 3–4 minutes, adding 1–2 spoonfuls of water so the noodles don't dry out.
- Serve with
- Serve for dinner with a cucumber or simple sliced vegetables if you want a fresher plate.
