  1. OODLES OF NOODLES

    Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the noodles with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the noodles for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.

  2. CA-SHEW! THANK YOU.

    Place the cashew nuts in a large pan or wok over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside.

  3. MIX & FRY

    In a bowl, combine the cornflour with 1 tbsp of water. Mix until a runny paste. Add the oyster-soy sauce, 20ml of water, and the grated garlic. Set aside.

  4. CHEEKY CHICK

    Return the pan or wok to a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chicken chunks and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan on completion and season to taste.

  5. YOU WOK MY WORLD

    Return the pan or wok to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the onion slices and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the pepper pieces and the spring onion whites. Fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, shifting occasionally. Add the cooked chicken, the oyster garlic sauce, and ¾ of the toasted cashews. Toss until fully combined. Leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced, shifting occasionally. Loosen with a splash of water if it reduces too quickly. Remove from the heat, toss through the cooked noodles, and season to taste.
