Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat and stir-fry the chicken for 5 mins. Add the green beans and stir-fry for 4-5 mins more until the green beans are just tender, and the chicken is just cooked through.

  • step 2

    Stir in the fresh ginger and garlic, and stir-fry for 2 mins, then add the stem ginger and syrup, the cornflour mix, soy sauce and vinegar. Stir-fry for 1 min, then toss in the noodles. Cook until everything is hot and the sauce coats the noodles. Drizzle with more soy, if you like, and serve.

The calories are wrong, these low calorie recipes are really miss leading and it is very bad to miss leas people on a restricted diet

Delicious flavours but my husband complained that the beans were too squeaky so I’ll definitely cook it again unless he learns how to cook.

I make this to be in the region of 530 kcal per portion. Not 213 kcal. Even without the noodles, the calories are circa 360 kcal per portion.

I agree. I halve the noodles and the chicken. Now it's 350-400.

I've adapted this so y9 at school can cook it. We add about half a cup of orange juice otherwise it's much too dry. It only needs one good sized chicken breast to serve 2 people. The flavours are great. We also add the green beans in at the same time as the chicken otherwise they are too crunchy.…

This recipe was easy, but too dry. Also the calories per serve are completely incorrect. Just one serving of the chicken alone has more calories than this recipe states each serve has and that’s before the noodles, oil and everything else.
