Preparation

Step 1

Sauce - Mix the sauce in a small bowl or jug.

Step 2

Season chicken - Toss the seasoned chicken ingredients in a bowl.

Step 3

Prepare noodles per the packet directions then drain in a colander (usually says to soak in boiled water for 3 - 5 minutes).

Step 4

Egg ribbons - Heat a small amount of the oil in a large non stick pan over medium high heat. Pour the egg in a swirl to make a thin omelette. Once the surface is set (literally 30 seconds), slide or flip it onto a cutting board. Cool so you can handle it, roll it up into a cigar then cut into 7mm / 1/3" strips. Separate. Voila! Egg ribbons!

Step 5

Stir-fry - Heat the remaining oil in the same pan over high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 1 minute. Add the onion and cook until it starts to wilt and the bacon is light golden (about 2 minutes). Add the chicken and cook until the surface is seared. Then add the garlic and capsicum and cook for another 2 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

Step 6

Noodles - Add (in this order) the baby spinach, bean sprouts, noodles then sauce. Using 2 spatulas, toss well for 1 1/2 minutes or until the sauce stains the noodles. There will be noodle breakage - that's normal.

Step 7

Finish - Toss through the egg ribbons (gently, just to disperse) then serve immediately!
