Sweet Chilli & Sesame Meat-Free Chick'n Udon

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

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!

Chop any larger pieces of your meat-free chick'n into bite-sized pieces

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

Once hot, add your ginger & garlic paste with the meat-free chick'n pieces and cook for 4-5 min

Meanwhile, combine your soy sauce, red chilli relish and toasted sesame oil in a bowl – this is your sweet chilli & sesame sauce

Wash your spinach, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Remove the pan from the heat, then add your udon noodles and spinach to the pan with a generous pinch of salt and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] water

Return the pan to the heat and cook, covered for 2 min until the spinach has started to wilt

Tip: Gently separate the noodles with a fork!

Meanwhile, slice your spring onion[s] finely

Once the spinach has wilted, add the sweet chilli & sesame sauce to the pan and give everything a good mix up until the noodles are coated – this is your sweet chilli & sesame meat-free chick'n udon
