Ingredients

400 g chicken diced into bite-sized pieces (see note 1)
2 tbsp cornflour for coating the chicken
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp neutral oil for frying
2 nests egg noodles (see note 2)
150 g sugar snap peas
2 spring onions sliced
1 tbsp sesame seeds to finish

For the sauce

2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp dark soy sauce (see note 2)
4 cloves garlic crushed
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sriracha sauce
1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp cold water

Instructions

Cook the egg noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain. Mix the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha in a small bowl.
Pat the chicken dry. Season with salt and pepper, then toss with 2 tbsp cornflour until lightly coated.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok over a medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in two batches, giving the pieces space and turning them once they’ve formed a golden crust. Cook until crisp and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
Pour off any excess oil, leaving a little in the pan. Add the sugar snap peas and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and the white parts of the spring onions; cook for 30 seconds.
Pour in the honey-soy mixture and let it bubble for a minute. Stir the 1 tsp cornflour and water mixture again, add it to the pan and cook until the sauce turns glossy and thickens.
Toss the noodles through the sauce until hot. Add the chicken last and toss briefly to coat. Serve straight away with the green parts of the spring onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Note 1: Boneless chicken breast can replace thigh, be careful not to cook it for too long though as it can dry out quicker than thigh.

Note 2: Higher-protein noodles or reduced-salt soy sauce can be used, but either swap will change the nutrition estimate. The sodium content depends particularly on the soy sauce you choose.
