Ingredients:
- 230 g Oomi Protein Noodles ((You can buy them in Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrison's - they contain milk though!))
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
- 150 g grated/finely chopped carrot
- 2 big handfuls beansprouts
- 40 ml gluten free soy sauce
How to cook:
- Start by poaching your boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add your chicken thighs. Immediately down the heat a little, but make sure it's still bubbling nicely. They should take around 8-10 minutes to cook through.
- Add two tablespoons of oil to your wok. Put it on a medium-high heat, but bear in mind that you'll need to keep constantly stirring at this heat.
- Throw in your carrot and fry until slightly softened - this should take around 1-2 minutes.
- Once your chicken thighs have cooked through, remove them from the boiling water and allow to cool so you can handle them. Once cool enough, chop them into bite-size strips.
- Add your cooked, chopped chicken thighs and your Oomi noodles to the wok. They'll loosen up a little as they get warmer, so give them about 20 seconds before you try and pry them apart.
- After your noodles have come apart a little, add in your beansprouts, a quarter tsp of salt and keep mixing everything in for a minute.
- Lastly, add your gluten free soy sauce and stir once again for another minute.
- Sprinkle some spring onion greens on top (optional) and enjoy!

Yields: 4 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Number of ingredients: 10
Ingredients:
- 0.66 packet (1lb) rice noodles
- 1 tbsp oil
- 0.5 brown or white onion (large diced)
- 1 carrot (cut into half moons)
- 0.5 red pepper (large diced)
- 0.5 head broccoli (cut into florets and blanched)
- 0.5 block crispy tofu *see recipe link above
- 0.5 cup Chinese stir-fry sauce *see recipe link above
- 1 scallion/green/spring onion (julienne for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
How to cook:
- In a large wok or frying pan on high heat, add the oil and allow it to heat up.
- Add the onions and cook for a minute or two, stirring once or twice.
- Add the carrot and cook for about 3 or 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are al-dente.
- Add the pepper and cook for another minute or two, tossing your fry pan or wok once or twice.
- Add the broccoli, tofu and noodles and a small amount of water. The water will create steam which will help in heating up the broccoli and noodles quickly. Note: you will need varying amounts of water depending on which method you used to soften your noodles. If you soaked them for a few hours, they’re likely cold and will need more water and a little more time. If you just cooked them in a pot of boiling water, you’ll just need enough water to loosen them up.
- Add the sauce and toss the noodles well to incorporate the vegetables and the sauce. Avoid using metal tongs here if you can - as they can break up the noodles.
- Dish your noodles up, and garnish with the scallion and sesame seeds.
