Method


  1. Firstly, prepare all the ingredients.

  2. Heat a large wok to a high heat. Add a little of the oil and the chicken. Stir fry the chicken for one minute, then add the honey and continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked and a rich golden colour. Remove from the wok and set to one side.

  3. Add the remaining oil to the re-heated wok and fry the garlic, ginger and chilli for about 20 seconds. Add the rest of the vegetables, keeping the heat high, stir-fry until they are just tender, but still retain some bite.

  4. Add the pre-cooked noodles and saute for a minute or so before returning the chicken to the pan.

  5. Mix well, add the chopped coriander, adjust the seasoning - adding soy sauce sesame oil and the lime zest and juice.

  6. Serve with a scattering of cashews over the top.
