Sweet & Sour Chicken

with Egg Noodle Stir-Fry, Cashews & Coriander

You could brave the cold and duck out for some sweet and sour chicken and Chinese noodles... or you could stay cosy and whip up the whole shebang from the comfort of your kitchen, in around 40 minutes. Boasting the perfect balance of sweet and sour, plus savoury, salty and umami-rich flavours, you'll be taking your tastebuds on a holiday with this moreish dish.

Due to recent sourcing challenges, we've swapped baby corn for sweetcorn, which may look different to the picture. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

• 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.

• 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.
