Instructions
Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then rinse them in cold water.*Just before they go into the pan, it is worth rinsing them again – it makes them much easier to toss with the other ingredients.
Heat a large frying pan or wok and fry the chicken in a little oil until cooked through – season with pepper.Set the chicken aside on a plate.
In the same pan, fry the mushrooms over a high heat until all their liquid has been released and cooked off. Add a little more oil if needed.
Add the onion and garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
Then add the spring onions, sugar snap peas and chilli, and fry for a further 2-3 minutes.Meanwhile, mix the marinade ingredients together.
Return the chicken to the pan together with the marinade, and toss everything together well.
Add the noodles and basil leaves, and toss well.Season to taste with freshly ground pepper and lime juice, and add a little more soy sauce, hoisin or oyster sauce if needed.
Serve with chopped peanuts or toasted sesame seeds.
