Steps:

• Cook the noodles as per the instructions on the packet, drain and set aside.

• Return all the chicken to the wok, add the honey, and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and a rich golden colour.
• Add a little water to the wok, as necessary, just to prevent the chicken and honey from sticking.
• Remove the chicken and honey mixture from the wok and set aside while you cook the remainder of the dish.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok and saute the ginger, garlic, coriander roots and chilli for about a minute.
• Add the vegetables and stir-fry over high heat until just tender.
• Add the pre-cooked noodles and saute for a minute or so before returning the chicken to the pan.

CHICKEN & CASHEW NUT STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Mix the marinade and add to the diced pieces of bite-size chicken. Aim to get all the pieces of a uniform size to ensure even cooking. Leave from 10 minutes to an hour.
• Mix all the ingredients for the sauce, season with black pepper and set aside. Do not add the water at this point.
• Put the wok over a high heat for 1 minute. Add the groundnut oil and chicken and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until nearly cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add the carrot, pepper and chilli to the wok and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and pak choi stems and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the onions and beansprouts and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
• Return the chicken to the pan, along with the pak choi leaves. Stir-fry for 1 minute, add the sauce and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. At this point you will probably need to add a small amount of water to get the right consistency. Stir in the cashews and serve with cooked noodles.
