Chicken Noodle Stir Fry a la Jamie Oliver

An adaptation of Jamie Oliver's chicken noodle stir fry recipe. Unfortunately, we were lacking space in terms of a wok big enough to fit everything in. Needs had to, so I changed it a bit. The result was quite good:

Ingredients:

250 g egg noodles, cooked according to instructions and kept to one side
2-3 chicken breasts, thinly sliced into 1 cm strips
5 cm ginger, chopped into thin strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
Chilli to taste, sliced thinly
2 red onions, diced
1-2 carrots, sliced thinly
1 yellow pepper, sliced
1 head broccoli, cut into small florets and with the stalk shredded as far as possible (second part optional)
Soy sauce to taste
Sriracha to taste
Coriander
Lime juice

1) Cook the noodles as instructed in a rather large pot (3-5 litres or so).
2) Season the chicken with pepper and fry in a large pan until browned, or for 3 minutes or so.
3) Add the ginger, garlic and chilli and fry for another minute or so.
4) Add the onion, carrot, pepper and broccoli and stir fry for a bit longer (3-4 minutes). Add soy sauce and sriracha to taste, then stir fry for a bit longer.
5) Add the stir fry, coriander and lime juice to the noodles and mix in. Serve warm.

Enjoy.

Chickeney Garlicky Honeyey Orangey Gingery Goodness

I quite enjoy cooking, which most of you should know. I've tried some rather interesting recipes, some of which worked better than others, and some of which could have used a bit of tweaking. The suggestion was made to start a collection of things I've made or done or whatnot, with appropriate thanks to whomever I owe a full belly.

Any thoughts, comments, or tales of wretchedness following an attempt at a recipe, please let me know. Also, please email and tell me stuff, which I will possibly try, possibly not. If I do, you can be sure I will let you know...

First one I owe to a hairy Welshman. I haven't the foggiest idea of its name, so it is hereafter known as the chickeney garlicky honeyey orangey gingery goodness. Directions are for a wok, but I made it in a pot. Be careful with the sweetness - I slightly overdid the honey, which made it a bit sweet for my taste; but it was pretty fantastic otherwise.

Chickeney Garlicky Honeyey Orangey Gingery Goodness: (makes enough for about 500g of chicken, or about 4 people)

500g chicken breasts
2-3 tbsp clear honey
2 large oranges
ginger (2 thumb-sized pieces)
1 or 2 red onions and spring onions
egg noodles (1 pack should do)
3 or 4 garlic cloves
a generous amount of soy sauce
parsley
a carrot
chilli flakes
sesame oil (optional, didn't use as I didn't have it)

Fry the diced chicken in olive oil for a few minutes. Add the juice and zest of one orange and 2 or 3 tablespoons of clear honey, grated ginger (a thumb sized piece) and salt and pepper to taste. Fry until the juices have evaporated and the meat is cooked.
Cook noodles and drain. In a wok, heat olive oil and add the carrot (finely sliced into ribbons), onion and spring onions (chopped). Fry for a few minutes on a low heat. Add crushed garlic (3 or 4 cloves, depending on taste), another thumb sized grated piece of ginger, and some optional dried chilli flakes. Fry for a further minute. Add soy sauce (3 or 4 tablespoons, according to taste), and juice and zest of the other orange, and optional sesame oil (a tablespoon or two). Fry for another minute. Stir the parsley (chopped) and the previously cooked noodles, and fry for a bit more until fully mixed through.

When made for me before, it was fantastically brilliant - I made it and let it get a bit dry, so be careful about that.

Very tasty. Enjoy, taste, have fun.
