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).
Serves 4
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of peanut oil
600 grams of chicken thighs, bones and skin removed
1 packet of organic udon noodles
1/2 cup of hoisin sauce
3cm knob of ginger, finely chopped
3 spring onions, washed and sliced
1 bunch of broccolini, washed and roughly chopped
150 grams of snowpeas, washed and roughly chopped
1 bunch of choy sum, washed and roughly chopped
1/4 cup of chopped cashews
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!!!
