Ingredients

1 servings

½ Tbspcoconut oil

2cm, finely chopped or grated

1 x 240gskinless chicken breast fillet

sliced into 1 cm thick strips

2 headspak choy

leaves separated

225gfresh egg noodles

baby spinach leaves

½ Tbsphoney

1 Tbsplight soy sauce

2 tsprice wine vinegar

1red chilli

finely sliced - remove the seeds if you don't like it hot

Instructions

Step 1

Heat the coconut oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Add the spring onions, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 10 seconds, then add the chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute.

Step 2

Throw in the pak choy, noodles, spinach and a couple of tablespoons of water - this will create steam to help cook the vegetables and separate the noodles. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, by which time the vegetables will have wilted and the chicken should be totally cooked through. Check by slicing into one of the larger pieces to make sure the meat is white all the way through, with no raw pink bits left.

Step 3

Remove from the heat and pour in the honey, soy sauce and vinegar, mixing well. Pile the stir-fry onto a plate, top with the sliced chilli and get it down you.

Step 4

Top tip: If you can't find fresh egg noodles, just use dried ones - but remember they'll need rehydrating before you add them to the stir-fry. And for a gluten-free meal, swap the soy sauce for tamari, and use rice noodles instead of egg noodles.
