Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 3 chicken breasts (500g), cut into strips
  • 60 g corn flour (or plain flour)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 egg
  • Oil for frying (enough to cover the bottom of the pan generously)

For the Sweet Chilli Sauce

  • 1 clove garlic freshly grated
  • 1 tsp ginger freshly grated
  • 100 ml sweet chilli sauce
  • 50 ml light soy sauce
  • 30 ml rice wine vinegar (or plain white vinegar or apple cider vinegar)

To Serve

  • Chopped spring onion
  • Toasted sesame seeds

 For the Noodles

  • Cooked egg noodles 50g per person 
  • ½ red bell pepper sliced
  • 4 florets of broccoli chopped 
  • 2 tsp soy sauce

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the corn flour, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
  • Add the chicken strips to the flour mixture and toss to coat evenly. Pour in the beaten egg and stir until the chicken is well coated. Set aside for a few minutes to let the flavours develop.

Step 2: Fry the Chicken

  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot (you can test by dropping a small piece of chicken in; it should sizzle), carefully add the coated chicken strips. 
  • Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
  • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 3: Make the Sweet Chilli Sauce

  • In a small saucepan, combine the grated garlic, grated ginger, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar.
  • Heat gently over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Prepare the Noodles

  • In a separate wok or frying pan, drizzle a tablespoon of oil.
  • Add the vegetables and toss them for a few minutes until they start to soften.
  • Then, add the noodles and a splash of soy sauce, heating everything through for about 3-4 minutes. Make sure to mix well to incorporate the flavours.
  • Add the crispy cooked chicken to the pan with the sweet chilli sauce. Toss gently to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.

Step 5: Serve

  • Serve the sweet chilli chicken over the stir-fried noodles. 
  • Garnish with chopped spring onions and toasted sesame seeds for that extra crunch and flavour.
