Sticky chicken stir-fry with sesame seeds


Serves 2

1 tsp Chinese 5 Spice
Egg noodles (2 cups cooked)
1 tsp sunflower oil
2 chicken breasts , sliced into strips
3 large carrots , cut into matchsticks
1 chopped garlic clove
1 one inch knob ginger, finely chopped
2 tbsp clear honey
juice 2 limes
3 tbsp sesame seeds , toasted
small bunch coriander , roughly chopped

Rub Chinese 5 Spice into the chicken and set aside.

Cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then drain.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large wok, add the chicken, then stir-fry over a high heat for a few mins. Tip in the carrot sticks, then continue stir-frying for about 4 mins until the chicken is cooked and starting to brown.

Add garlic and a ginger and stir fry for another minute or 2.

Quickly stir in the honey and lime juice, bubble for 30 secs, then add the sesame seeds and cooked noodles. (It's easier to use tongs at this stage to mix everything together.) Warm everything through briefly, then tear coriander over the top to serve.
