Hey Mama Easy Chicken Noodle Stir Fry
Chicken Noodle Stir Fry
This is a quick easy dinner that the whole family will enjoy. It’s super versatile, use beef or pork in place of chicken or tofu for a vegetarian version. Any type of noodle will work or you can even serve it over rice if that’s all you had.
Serves 2 adults and 2 young children. Double the recipe for bigger families or older children.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 chicken breast (200-250g), diced
½ onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed

Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
½ teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)

Method:
- Fill a pot with water and bring to the boil. Once boiled, add the broccoli and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and tip into a colander and refresh with cold water. Set aside.
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a jug and have ready to go.
- Heat a wok or fry pan over a medium- high heat.
