Ingredients you'll need
  • 50g tamari
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp vegan fischy sauce
  • 250g diced chicken leg
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 small green cabbage
  • 2 nests of Asia noodles
From your kitchen
  • 1 tbsp olive, sunflower or coconut oil
You'll need
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Large pan with lid
  • Deep frying pan or wok
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Pour the tamari and 1 tbsp each mirin and vegan fischy sauce into a bowl. Add the diced chicken leg and turn to coat. Set aside for 5 mins to marinate.

  • 2.

    Trim, peel and finely slice the onion. Trim and peel the carrots, then thinly slice them into batons. Finely slice the small green cabbage, discarding any really thick bits of core.

  • 3.

    Fill a large pan with hot water from the kettle and set it on a high heat. When the water is boiling, add 2 nests of Asia noodles and simmer for 6 mins till tender. Drain and set aside.

  • 4.

    While the noodles cook, put a wok or deep frying pan on a high heat and add 1 tbsp oil. Lift the chicken out of the marinade (keep the marinade for later). Add it to the wok and stir-fry for 5 mins till golden brown.

  • 5.

    Add the onion, carrot and cabbage to the pan with the chicken. Stir fry for 5 mins till the veg are just tender and have picked up a little colour.

  • 6.

    Pour the remaining marinade into the wok and bubble for 1-2 mins. Drain the noodles, if you haven't already, add them to the pan. Toss together to mix. If the stir-fry seems a little dry, add a splash of water.

  • 7.

    Divide the chicken, veg and noodles between a couple of warm plates and serve.
