By Jenny and Rosie with Chris Wong & Indira Persaud
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
For Noodles:
2 tsp (10 mL) Salt
¾ lb (340 g) Whole wheat spaghetti, soba, chow mein or brown rice noodles
For Sauce:
⅓ Cup (85 mL) Low-sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Honey or brown sugar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Sesame oil
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Oil
1 tsp (5 mL) Apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Sweet chili sauce
1 Tbsp (15 mL) Ginger, grated (optional)
2 cloves Garlic, minced
For Vegetables & Chicken:
1 bunch Broccoli, cut into florets (including the peeled, chopped stems)
1 Sweet pepper (any colour), cut into thin strips
2 large Carrots, grated
1 lb (454 g) Ground chicken or boneless chicken, cut into strips
2 Tbsp (30 mL) Oil
Directions
Note: Wash all produce well.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the noodles until tender. Drain and return to the cooking pot to keep warm.
Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, 1 Tbsp oil, vinegar, hoisin sauce, sweet chili sauce, ginger (optional) and garlic in a small pot and bring to a simmer. When the noodles are ready, toss them with the sauce in the cooking pot.
In a large pan over high heat, stir-fry the broccoli in batches until bright green and crisp-tender, adding oil as necessary. Add the broccoli to the noodles as it's cooked along with the carrots and peppers.
Cook the chicken in 1 Tbsp oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until cooked through. Add to the noodle-vegetable mixture and toss to combine thoroughly.
