• 3-4 shallots
• 110g boneless skinless chicken thighs, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ clove garlic, finely chopped
• 2 cups Chinese leaf, finely sliced
• 1 medium carrots, finely sliced
• 225g fresh lo mein egg noodles
• Handful bean sprouts
• 1 spring onion, finely sliced

The marinade

• Pinch salt
• Pinch sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp water

The Spice Mix

• 1 tbsp curry powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• ½ tsp turmeric

The Sauces

• ½ tablespoon shaoxing wine (or dry sherry cooking wine)
• ½ tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon dark soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of sugar

PREPARATION

• Thinly slice the chicken thighs and season with salt and sugar. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the cornstarch and water. Massage through with your hands, then add the oil and mix well.

• Finely slice the carrots, spring onion, and shallots. Make your wok clock on a plate- carrots at 12, then your shallots, then your garlic, noodles, Chinese cabbage, and finally the spring onion and beansprouts.

COOKING

• Place the vegetable oil into a smoking hot wok and add the chicken. Stir fry the chicken for a few minutes and remove. Add the veg to the wok, working around the wok clock and giving each veg 30 seconds to cook before adding the next.

• Add the noodles and toss through until they soften a little, then add the Chinese cabbage and fold through.

• Now it is time to add the spices and toss through. Followed by the sauces. Mix well.

• To finish off add the beansprouts for a few seconds, and serve.

• Top the dish with spring onions and sliced chilis (if you are brave!)
