Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air and boil a kettle
Cut your chicken breast strips into thinner strips
Combine your honey, 2 tsp [3 tsp] [4 tsp] of sugar, tamarind paste and soy sauce in a mixing bowl, then divide the marinade into 2 separate bowls, add the chicken strips to one bowl of the marinade and give everything a good mix up
Add your rice noodles to a bowl and cover with boiled water
Set aside for 12-15 min or until softened
Once softened, drain the noodles and set aside
Wash, then rip the leaves off your spring greens, discard the tough stalks, then layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips
Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Chop your coriander finely, including the stalks (keep the leaves and stalks separate!)
Peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely grate your ginger
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]
Cut your red chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and finely chop
Add your cornflour to a plate with a generous pinch of salt and mix to combine
Add the marinated chicken strips to the cornflour and give everything a good mix up until well coated
Tip: You may need to do this in batches!
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the coated chicken strips and fry for 5-6 min on each side, or until crispy and cooked through (no pink meat!)
Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside – this is your sweet & sour chicken
Reserve the pan
Drain the softened noodles
Return the reserved pan to a medium heat with your toasted sesame oil
Once hot, add the sliced spring greens, chopped coriander stalks, grated ginger, chopped garlic and chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and cook for 1 min
Add the remaining marinade and softened noodles to the pan, give everything a good mix and cook for 1 min further until warmed through – these are your sesame noodles
Serve the sweet & sour chicken over the sesame noodles
Garnish with your toasted sesame seeds, sliced spring onion and chopped coriander leaves
Enjoy!
