Ingredients
- 400g chicken thighs (cut into strips)
- 5 tbsp. Sugar-Free Sauce (Sweet Chilli)
- 1 tsp. crushed garlic
- 1 tsp. chilli paste
- 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper to season
- Handful cabbage (chopped)
- 1 carrot (thinly sliced)
- 1 pepper (thinly sliced)
- 1 red chilli (sliced)
- 2 spring onions (chopped)
- 600g easy cook noodles
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce

- 1 spring onion (chopped)
- Handful coriander (chopped)
Method
- Firstly, add the chicken thigh strips, 3 tablespoons of Sugar-Free Sauce (Sweet Chilli), garlic and chilli paste to a small bowl and mix well.
- Next, heat the olive oil in a wok and add the marinated chicken. Fry for 5-7 minutes, turning regularly until the chicken is completely cooked through and no longer pink on the inside.
- Then, add the cabbage, pepper and carrot, and continue frying for 2-3 minutes.
- Whilst frying, season to taste with salt and pepper (I like to add a lot of pepper to my stir fries).
- Add the spring onions and chilli and fry for a further 2 minutes.
- Now, add your noodles, soy sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Sugar-Free Sauce (Sweet Chilli) to your wok. Mix them into the chicken and veg and fry for 3 minutes.
- Once the noodles are cooked remove from heat.
- Garnish with sesame seeds, spring onions and chopped coriander.
- Enjoy!
