CHINESE CRISPY NOODLES WITH SAUCY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES (CRISPY CHOW MEIN!)

Steps:

• Mix the Sauce ingredients EXCEPT cornflour and chicken broth/stock.

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet over medium high heat. Place 1 noodle cake into pan then drizzle over 2 tbsp water.
• Wait until the water evaporates (steam cooks the noodles), then pat down lightly and let the noodles cook for a further 1 to 2 minute until the bottom of the noodles are golden brown (lift up with a spatula to check).

• Add the carrot and bok choy stems, cook 30 seconds.
• Add cabbage and leaf of buk choy, cook for 1 minute until they start to wilt.
• Add chicken broth, water, then Sauce and stir. Let it simmer for 1 - 2 minutes until the Sauce thickens to a syrup consistency (see video).
• Place a noodle cake on the plate, then spoon over the stir fry onto the middle of the noodles (leave edges crispy) being sure to use up all the sauce so it soaks the noodles. Serve immediately!
