Ingredients
150g rice
2 nests of egg noodles
2-3 tbsp sunflower oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
3cm root ginger, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped

1 tsp caster sugar
4 chicken thighs, skinless and boneless, diced small
2 tbsp chilli bean sauce
2 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp dark soy sauce

– In another pan of boiling salted water, cook two nests of egg noodles according to the packet instructions and drain when cooked.

– Add the oil to a hot pan and add the sliced onion. Cook on a medium heat for 5 minutes and when they start to soften, add the finely chopped garlic, ginger and chilli, cooking for 1 more minute.

– Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir fry for 3 minutes. To help it caramelise, add 1tsp of caster sugar.

– When the cabbage has started to colour, add the chopped chicken to the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.

– Add the chilli bean sauce, dark and light soy sauces and oyster sauce and stir into the cabbage and chicken, and then stir in the noodles.

– Add the cooked rice to the noodle mixture, stir to combine and cook through on a high heat.
