From BBC's Chinese Food Made Easy, the best recent TV cookery show. Very simple to make, and tasty! I added a little more five-spice than the original recipe. Omit the chilli sauce if you wish, or add a little more to give it extra zing. If you don't have groundnut oil (peanut oil), use vegetable oil, NOT olive oil, which is too strong flavoured. Serves two as a main course, or four as a side dish. Ingredients:
150 g medium egg noodles |
1 tablespoon sesame oil |
300 g chicken breasts, sliced |
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce |
1 tablespoon five-spice powder |
1 teaspoon chili sauce |
1 tablespoon cornflour |
2 tablespoons peanut oil |
1 red bell pepper, finely sliced |
150 g bean sprouts |
1 large spring onion, sliced lengthways |
2 tablespoons light soy sauce |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook the noodles in boiling water until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Drizzle with a little sesame oil and toss.
2. Place chicken in a bowl and toss with dark soy, five-spice powder and chilli sauce. Dust with cornflour.
3. Heat a wok until smoking before adding the groundnut oil. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add red pepper, stir fry for a minute, then add onion and beansprouts, cooking for a further 30s. Stir in the noodles and season with light soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and black pepper, to taste.
