Tasty Teriyaki Chicken Noodles

Ingredients

• 80g edamame beans, frozen
• 63 soba noodles
• ½ carrot
• ½ red chilli pepper
• 1 chicken breast, skinless & boneless
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce, light
• ½ tsp sesame seeds

Method

1. Boil a full kettle. Put the edamame beans in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Add the rest of the boiling water to a medium pan on the hob and allow to simmer ready for the noodles.
2. Peel and finely slice or grate the carrot. De-seed and finely chop the chilli (enough to suit your taste), dice the chicken into bite size pieces.
3. Put a wok or large heavy bottomed pan on a high heat and add the sesame oil. As soon as the oil starts to smoke add the chicken and stir fry until cooked through (approx. 3-4 minutes). Take off the heat.
4. Add the noodles to the boiling water (they need about 3 minutes). Drain the edamame beans and add to the chicken, putting it back on the heat, add the chilli and the carrots. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes and take off the heat.
5. Using tongs, transfer the noodles to the wok - it doesn't matter if a little of the cooking water transfers (alternatively drain into a sieve/colander).
6. Put the wok back on the heat but reduce to low. Add 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce and 1 tbsp soy. Stir fry for another minute.
7. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
