Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Prepare all your raw ingredients as per the instructions in the ingredients list.

Step 2

Mix together the light soy, miso paste, dark sugar, ginger paste and flour plus 1 tbsp of water (if cooking for 4) in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Cook the dried noodles following pack instructions, then set aside.

Step 4

Place a large wok over a high heat and add the oil. Tip in the peppers and carrots and fry for a few minutes until lightly browned. Mix in the chicken and stir-fry until slightly golden, around 5 mins until just cooked through.

Step 5

Add the cooked rice noodles and toss to combine. Pour in the sauce you made earlier and add the cashews, then continue to stir-fry until everything is well coated and a little sticky. Ensure everything is hot and the chicken is well cooked. Finish with a sprinkling of chilli flakes, if using and the chopped spring onions.
