Hot and Sour Chicken Noodles
Some recipes just hit the spot, and this is one of them. Think tender chicken, a sweet and savoury sticky sauce, and a little kick of chilli, all piled onto a bed of noodles. Best of all, it’s on the table in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 Onion, diced
- 3 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 Small knob of ginger, grated or finely chopped
- 1 red Chilli, finely sliced
- 200g Chicken, diced
- 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 Tsp sugar
- 150ml Water or Chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp cornflour
- Spring onions, sliced, to serve
- Cooked noodles, to serve
Step 1
Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Step 2
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red chilli, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the diced chicken to the pan and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
Step 4
Pour in the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar. Add the water or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to form a smooth paste. Stir this into the sauce and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
Step 6
Serve the sticky chicken over cooked noodles and finish with a generous scattering of sliced spring onions.
