Cooking your Chicken Chow Mein

Place some olive oil in a hot wok

Use 2 wooden spoons to toss the chicken when frying in the wok (or deep frying pan or pot) but a wok is better

Fry the chicken in a little bit of the soya sauce mixture on a medium heat – but do leave some mixture to one side to use later for the vegetables

After  10 – 15  minutes the chicken should be cooked

Place the chicken into a bowl and leave to one side for to use later

To the wok now add onion, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas and red cabbage

Add any remaining soya sauce juice mixture to the vegetables in the wok

Toss the vegetable occasionally to make sure the vegetables cook evenly

Cook for 5 minutes then add red peppers, mangetout and leeks

Cooking for a further 5 minutes

Bring a pot of hot water to the boil

And add egg noodles and cook for 3 – 4 minutes or to packets instruction

While the spaghetti is cooking add your pak choi, spring onions and spinach

Cook for a further 2 minutes and add bean sprouts

Add your chicken back into the wok along with the vegetables and give it a good toss around

Drain the noodles and add them to the wok with the chicken and vegetables

Toss everything around so the noodles get mixed well with everything

Dish it up on a plate using 2 big serving spoons – it is the easiest way to dish the chicken chow mein up
