Simply Delicious Meat-Free Chicken Stir-Fry

Deseed the red pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into large bite-sized pieces

Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic

Boil a full kettle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the meat-free chicken and cook for 3 min or until starting to brown

Add the medium egg noodles to a pot and cover them with boiled water until fully submerged

Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5-6 min or until cooked with a slight bite

Once done, drain, reserving a cup of the starchy noodle water and set aside

Once golden, add the chopped pepper to the pan with the meat-free chicken

Add the ginger paste and garlic and cook for 4-5 min further or until the pepper is beginning to soften

Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce with the toasted sesame oil and honey in a small bowl – this is your stir-fry sauce

Once the meat-free chicken is warmed through, rinse the blanched edamame beans under cold running water, then add to the pan and cook for 30 secs

Add the drained noodles with the stir-fry sauce and give everything a good mix up

Cook for 1-2 min further, stirring until the sauce sticks to the noodles – this is your simply delicious meat-free chicken stir-fry

Tip: Add a splash of starchy noodle water if your sauce is looking a little dry!
