Chinese Almond Chicken Noodles

4 servings

10 minute prep; 15 minute cook

Ingredients required:

  • 6 oz. (170g) ramen noodles
  • 1 lb. (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp. + 2 tsp. tamari sauce, divided
  • 2 tsp. root ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3.5 oz. (100g) green beans, cut, rinsed
  • 4 tbsp. roasted almonds
  • 2 green onions, sliced

For the sauce:

  • 4 tbsp. chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp. mirin
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • ½ tsp. coconut sugar

Instructions:

  1. Cook the ramen noodles according to instructions on the packaging.
  2. Place the chicken in a medium bowl with 2 tablespoons of tamari sauce and the minced ginger, then toss to combine.
  3. Place all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl, stir to combine and set aside.
  4. When the noodles have finished cooking, drain and set aside. Return the pan to low heat, add the sesame oil and remaining 2 teaspoons of tamari sauce to the pan and stir.
  5. Place a wok or large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken and ginger mixture and let it cook for 1 minute stirring frequently. Now add the onion and green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through.
  6. Return the cooked noodles to the pot containing the warm sesame oil and tamari sauce. Turn the heat up to medium-high and fry the noodles.
  7. Now add the pre-mixed sauce to the wok and mix well. Once the sauce has thickened, add the almonds and toss to coat in the sauce.
  8. Serve the chicken over the pan-fried noodles and garnish with chopped green onions.
