Hoisin Chicken & Green Stir Fry
Hoisin Chicken & Green Stir Fry
I LOVE this recipe – it’s such a go to of mine. I feel like I say that about every recipe, but we would have this once a week in our household. It has 10 ingredients, it’s heathy, it’s quick and it’s a meal we can share with our 4 year old (and not have to make two bloody dinners). Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 600 g chicken thighs bones and skin removed
- 1 packet udon noodles organic
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 3 cm knob ginger finely chopped
- 3 spring onions washed and sliced
- 1 bunch broccolini washed and roughly chopped
- 150 g snow peas washed and roughly chopped
- 1 bunch choy sum washed and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup cashews chopped
Instructions
Method:
- Fill a large saucepan with water and put onto high heat to bring to a boil.
- Slice the chicken thighs into pieces, try and cut them to even sizes so they cook evenly. Add them to a bowl and coat in half the hoisin sauce. Set aside while you wash and chop your veggies.
- Slice the ginger, and spring onion and chop the green veggies. Chop your cashews. Set these aside for now.
- When the pot has come to a boil – cook the noodles as per packet instructions. Remove, strain and run cold water through these. Set aside.
- In a large fry pan, add some peanut oil and heat. Cook your chicken pieces in batches on medium to high heat for 3-4 mins on each side. Don’t overcrowd the pan or they will stew – you may have to do two batches if cooking for 4 or more people. Once cooked through, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same pan on high heat, add a little more peanut oil. Add the ginger and half the spring onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the broccolini pieces and a little more hoisin sauce. Sauté for 2 mins. Feel free to add a tablespoon of water if it’s getting too dry.
- Add the choy sum and snow peas and toss while cooking – about 2 mins. Add in the cooked chicken pieces, remaining hoisin and coat.
- Add your noodles and mix through well. Serve in bowls and add remaining spring onion & chopped cashews. Enjoy!!!
