Ingredients

2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
400g free-range chicken breast, cut into chunks
Bunch of spring onions
1 tbsp sunflower oil
300g fresh egg noodles

Method

Preheat the grill. In a bowl, mix the five-spice powder, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, the ketchup and chicken. Thread the chicken onto 8 skewers and grill for 15 minutes until cooked through, turning once or twice.
Meanwhile, thinly slice the spring onions and heat the oil in a wok.
Put the spring onions, noodles and beansprouts into the hot wok and stir-fry over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until heated through. Season with soy sauce and the remaining hoisin sauce and divide among 4 bowls. Serve each bowl with 2 chicken skewers.
