Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Drain pineapple slices and sweetcorn (see ingredients). Trim pea pods. • Roughly chop pineapple, pea pods, brown onion and capsicum. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice long chilli (if using). Set aside. • Cut chicken thigh into 2cm chunks. In a medium bowl, combine cornflour, chicken-style stock powder and a pinch of pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat. • In a small bowl, combine sweet & sour sauce, the soy sauce, the brown sugar and a splash of water.
• Half-fill a medium saucepan with the boiled water, then heat over medium-high heat. • Cook egg noodles, stirring occasionally with a fork to separate, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Drain and rinse noodles, then set aside.
• While the noodles are cooking, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, shake excess cornflour off chicken, then cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Transfer chicken to a bowl.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Wipe out frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook onion, capsicum and pineapple, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add ginger paste and 1/2 the garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the sweet & sour sauce mixture. Return chicken to pan and cook, tossing, until coated and heated through, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl, then cover to keep warm.
• Wipe out frying pan again, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook corn, carrot and pea pods, tossing, until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in the oyster sauce, sweet chilli sauce and remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the cooked noodles and a splash of water, and cook, tossing, until combined, 1 minute.
• Divide egg noodle stir-fry between bowls. Top with sweet and sour chicken. • Sprinkle with chilli and roasted cashews. • Tear over coriander leaves to serve. Enjoy!
