Remove the root from the spring onion and thinly slice, separating the white and green parts. Peel and grate the ginger and garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the red chilli lengthways, deseed and finely chop. Trim the tops from the green beans and chop them into three pieces. Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Put a large saucepan of water on to boil for the noodles

Pop the ginger, garlic, chilli, soy sauce, honey and sesame seeds into a small bowl and mix together. TIP: Some like it hot, but if you’re not one of them just use less chilli!

Step 3

Instruction

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the chicken along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until browned, 5 mins. If your pan is small, cook the chicken in batches as you want it to fry rather than stew. Add the green beans and the whites of the spring onion. Stir-fry for a further 5 mins. Important: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle.
