Ingredients

2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp Very Lazy Hot Chilli Paste (widely available)
6 free-range mini chicken fillets (about 250g), halved lengthways
75g sesame seeds
2 tbsp vegetable oil
300g pack ready-to-wok medium egg noodles

Step by step preparation

In a bowl, stir together the soy and chilli paste, then pour half the mixture over the halved mini chicken fillets in another bowl. Stir to coat well. Put the sesame seeds in a third bowl, then cover each chicken piece with an even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over a medium heat and gently cook the chicken, turning regularly, for 6-8 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Divide the noodles between 2 bowls, top with pieces of sesame chicken, then sprinkle over the remaining spring onions. Serve with lime wedges.
