Instructions
1
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Trim the green beans and cut into thirds.
- Thinly slice the chilli.
- Trim the scallion and thinly slice.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
2
- Place a large pan over medium heat (no oil).
- Once hot, add the sesame seeds. Stir regularly until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. Remove to a bowl.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, add the chicken. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and fry until golden, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
TIP: Keep an eye on the sesame seeds—they burn easily!
3
- Add the onion and green beans to the pan. Cook until softened, 3-4 mins.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 min.
- Add the teriyaki sauce with 75ml water (double for 4p).
- Mix well and simmer until the sauce is sticky and the chicken is cooked through, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Gently separate the noodles and toss in the sauce until warmed, 1-2 mins.
TIP: If the sauce is too thick add a splash of water.
4
- Stir the sesame seeds through the dish.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the sesame chicken noodles between bowls.
- Finish with a sprinkling of chilli (use less if you don't like spice) and scallion.
