Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you start cooking, take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add your chicken breast strips with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 3 min on each side or until they're browned
Meanwhile, peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) your ginger
Slice half of your red chilli[es] into rounds (set them aside for garnish), then cut the remaining in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Boil a kettle
Once the chicken has browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and add a splash of cold water and cook, covered for 12-15 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
While the chicken is cooking, add your wholewheat noodles to a pot and cover them with boiled water until they're fully submerged
Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5-7 min or until tender with a slight bite, then drain and set aside in a bowl and reserve the pot for later
Wash your spring greens and pat dry with kitchen paper, then rip the leaves off the spring greens, discard the tough stalks, layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s] finely
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and shred it apart with two forks – this technique is known as 'pulling'
Return the pan to a medium heat with the pulled chicken and add the chopped ginger, chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), hoisin sauce, soy sauce and 50ml [75ml] [100ml] cold water
Cook for 3-4 min or until the chicken is coated in a sticky sauce – this is your pulled hoisin chicken
Meanwhile, return the reserved pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the sliced spring greens, chopped garlic and a pinch of salt and cook for 1 min or until starting to wilt
Add a splash of water and cook, covered, for 2 min or until completely wilted, then stir in the drained noodles and your toasted sesame oil – these are your sesame noodles
Serve the pulled hoisin chicken over the sesame noodles
Garnish with the chilli rounds (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and sliced spring onion
Enjoy!
