Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)
Now, let's get started!
Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into thin strips
Top, tail and grate your carrot[s]
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add your diced chicken thigh and chopped pepper to the pan with a pinch of salt and cook for 6 min or until the chicken has browned
Meanwhile, combine your soy sauce and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl with your sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), cornflour, 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] sugar and 4 tbsp [6 tbsp] [8 tbsp] cold water and mix until smooth – this is your spicy sesame sauce
Once the chicken is browned, add your ginger & garlic paste, grated carrot and udon noodles to the pan and cook for 2 min or until the carrot starts to soften
Tip: Gently separate the noodles with a fork!
Trim, then finely slice your spring onion[s]
Once the carrot has softened, add the spicy sesame sauce to the pan and cook for a final 2 min or until everything is warmed through, fully coated in the sauce and the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your spicy sesame chicken udon stir-fry
Serve the spicy sesame chicken udon stir-fry and garnish with the sliced spring onion and top with a grind of black pepper
Enjoy!
