Mix up your chow mein sauce ingredients.

Pour 3 tablespoons of the chow mein sauce over your raw chicken. Leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Cook your noodles to packet instructions.

Heat a generous tablespoon of sesame oil in a wok (or large frying pan) on medium-high heat. 

Add the chicken and garlic and cook so the outside colours but is not fully cooked through. Keep it moving to avoid it burning.

Add your cabbage and carrot to the pan and cook until the cabbage has wilted.

Add your noodles, water, 3 more tablespoons of your chow mein sauce and toss to coat.

Finish by adding your beansprouts and onions. Stir for 1 minute and serve.
