Direction
- STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and, once hot, stir-fry the chicken and cabbage for 5-7 mins until browned and almost cooked through. Add the ginger and chilli, and cook for a few minutes more until fragrant.
- STEP 2
Add the remaining ingredients, except the coriander and pickled ginger, and fry until the chicken is cooked and the noodles are tender, about 1-2 mins more. Season, adding more soy, vinegar or mirin, if you like. Top with the coriander and pickled ginger, if using.
