175 g medium egg noodles

2 tablespoons dark soy sauce

4. Thinly slice the onion, garlic and ginger. Ttop and tail the mange tout.
5. Cook the noodle in a large pan of salted water according to packet instructions.
6. Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large pan and stir fry the onion and ginger over high heat until soft. Add the garlic, bean sprouts and mange tout and five spice. Fry for 1 minute.
7. Drain the noodles well, add to the wok with the chicken and soy sauce. Stir fry a further 2 minutes or so until piping hot, and then serve.
