Step 1

Put the cornflour in a small bowl, add the sugar, garlic, and enough soy sauce to mix a smooth paste. Add the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce and chicken stock. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Place noodles in a separate bowl. Pour boiling water straight from the kettle over the noodles, pop a plate over the top and leave to soak while you cook the stir fry.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and add the chicken with the 5 spice. Stir fry for 6-7 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked.

Step 4

Stir the noodles with a fork to make sure they are softening evenly.

Step 5

Add the vegetable mix to the chicken and stir for a further 4-5 minutes until softened a little.

Step 6

When the noodles are just cooked, drain.

Step 7

Add the sauce to the chicken and vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened and coating the ingredients.

Step 8

Add the drained noodles and toss to coat everything well. Garnish with the spring onions if using.
