  • If you are using straight to wok udon noodles, plunge them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, separate them and then refresh in cold water.
  • Top and tail the onion, peel it and then cut it into 5mm (¼") thick strips.
  • Remove the stem and seeds from the green pepper (and discard them), then slice the flesh into 5mm (¼") thick strips.
  • Peel the garlic cloves and slice them as finely as you can.
  • Finely slice the spring onions.
  • Just before you start cooking separate the chicken and the marinade.
  • Heat a wok over a very high heat, and when it begins to shimmer, add the oil, onions and green pepper. Stir-fry for 60-90 seconds.
