Ingredients

½ tbsp vegetable oil
2 skinless chicken breasts, sliced
200g green beans , trimmed and halved crosswise
thumb-sized piece of ginger , peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 garlic cloves , sliced
1 ball stem ginger , finely sliced, plus 1 tsp syrup from the jar
1 tsp cornflour , mixed with 1 tbsp water
1 tsp dark soy sauce , plus extra to serve (optional)
2 tsp rice vinegar
200g cooked egg noodles

Steps:

Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat and stir-fry the chicken for 5 mins. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 4-5 mins more until the green beans are just tender, and the chicken is just cooked through.
Stir in the fresh ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 2 mins, then add the stem ginger and syrup, the cornflour mix, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir-fry for 1 min, then toss in the noodles. Cook until everything is hot and the sauce coats the noodles. Drizzle with more soy, if you like, and serve.
