  1. Alan Gillard Cut chicken breast into thin strips. Place in a bowl with black bean and garlic paste, chilli and ginger or garlic. Leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Soften the mushrooms by covering with boiling water (see Cook’s Tip).

  2. If using dried noodles, place noodles in a large bowl and pour boiling water over to cover. Allow noodles to soften, stirring to unravel them as they soften. Drain well. 

  3. Heat the oils in a wok or heavy non-stick frying pan until hot. Add the noodles and stir-fry until light golden brown. Remove to a heated plate. 

  4. Add chicken to wok and stir-fry until golden and cooked through. Remove to a heated plate. Wipe wok or pan clean. Add vegetables and stir-fry for 2 minutes, adding 1-2 Tbsp reserved mushroom soaking water to moisten and create steam. This also helps the vegetables cook through quickly without scorching. 

  5. Combine noodles, chicken, vegetables and mung bean sprouts. Place in serving bowls or American-style takeaway containers. Top with coriander or spring onions, snow pea shoots and extra carrot and red pepper.

  6. Cook's tip To rehydrate dried sliced shiitake mushrooms, place in a bowl. Cover with boiling water. Soak for about 5 minutes or until soft. Squeeze dry. Reserve soaking liquid. Use for stock. Whole dried mushrooms take about 10 minutes. Trim woody stems before using.
