Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Marinade:

  • 200 g/7oz boneless skinless chicken thigh, sliced into strips
  • 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger root
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch cornflour

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 100 g 3.5oz dried noodles (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 onion halved and sliced
  • 150 g 5.5oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 2 spring onions finely sliced

For the Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • ½ cup 120ml water
  • Black pepper to taste

Other Ingredients:

  • Low-calorie spray oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken strips, grated ginger, crushed garlic, and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Prepare the Noodles: Boil a large pot of water and cook the noodles as directed on the package. Once done, drain them and rinse under cold water to cool, then set aside.
  • Sauté the Chicken: Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and spray with low-calorie oil. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Add a little more spray oil to the wok. Toss in the onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and carrots, stir-frying for another 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  • Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, water, and a pinch of black pepper.
  • Finish and Serve: Add the chicken back to the pan, tossing it in the sauce to coat evenly. Stir in the noodles and mix everything together. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through. Top with finely sliced spring onions and serve right away.
