Ingredients
- 650g chicken breast, diced
- 2 packs supermarket mixed stir fry vegetables
- 300g straight-to-wok egg noodles
- 6 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 4 eggs (optional, for topping)
- vegetable oil for cooking
Method
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Loosen the noodles in a bowl and set aside (if using regular noodles, cook according to packet instructions first).
- Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate.
- Add the vegetables to the same pan and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly charred.
- Return the chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
- Pour over the soy sauce and fish sauce, tossing everything together over medium heat.
- Add the noodles and toss for 2 minutes until heated through and well coated in the sauce.
- Meanwhile, if using eggs, fry them in a separate pan until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Divide the stir fry between bowls and top each with a fried egg if desired.
- Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
Cook's notes
Use pork, beef, tofu or mushrooms instead of chicken.
Any quick-cooking vegetables work well - try peppers, broccoli, pak choi or bean sprouts.
Quantities can be halved (or quartered) according to how many are eating.
