Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat Hakka noodles
• 200 grams Boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, julienned
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
• 4 Spring onions, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chili sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the whole wheat noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced chicken breast to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and slightly golden. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the julienned red and green bell peppers, carrot, and shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Toss everything together gently.

Step 7

Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and toss well to combine.

Step 8

Add black pepper and, if using, chili sauce. Continue to toss everything together until heated through and evenly coated.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.

Step 10

Serve the noodles warm as a delicious and heart-healthy main dish.
