Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. • Drain pineapple slices. • Trim and roughly chop pea pods. • Roughly chop pineapple, brown onion and capsicum. Finely chop garlic. • 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 Sichuan garlic paste, soy sauce mix and a splash of water.

2

• 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 and return to saucepan. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

3

• While 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 to a bowl.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

4

• 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. • Reduce heat to medium-high and add pea pods, ginger paste and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in the Sichuan sauce mixture. Return chicken to pan and cook, tossing, until coated and heated through, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

5

• Add a drizzle of the soy sauce to saucepan with noodles. Toss to combine.

6

• Divide egg noodles between bowls. Top with Sichuan chicken. • Sprinkle with crushed peanuts. Tear over coriander to serve. Enjoy!
