Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid), with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the chicken thighs with a generous pinch ofboth salt and pepper and cook for 3 min on each side or until they're browned
2
Meanwhile, peel (scrape the skin off with a teaspoon) and finely chop (or grate) the ginger
Cut a few chilli rounds (set them aside for garnish) then cut the remaining redchilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
3
Boil a kettle
Once the chicken has browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and add a splash of water and cook, covered for 10 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
4
While the chicken is cooking, add the wholewheat noodles to a pot and cover them with boiled water until they're fully submerged
Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 5-7 min or until tender with a slight bite, then drain and set aside in a bowl and reserve the pot for later
5
Trim, then slice the spring onions finely
6
Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and shred the chicken apart with two forks – this is known as 'pulling'
Once pulled, return the pan to a medium heat and add the chopped ginger, chopped chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), hoisin sauce, half the soy sauce and 50ml [75ml] water and cook for 3-4 min or until the chicken is coated in a sticky sauce – this is your hoisin chicken
7
Meanwhile, return the reserved pot to a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil
Once hot, add the shredded kale, chopped garlic and a generous pinch of salt and cook for 1 min or until starting to wilt
Add a splash of water and cook, covered, for 2 min or until completely wilted, then stir in the cooked noodles, toasted sesame oil and remaining soy sauce – these are your sesame noodles
