Method

  1. 1.
    Heat some of the oil in a large pan or wok. Fry the chicken or beef strips in batches, over a high heat, until browned but not quite cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. 2.
    Add the peppers and carrots (with more oil if necessary) and stir-fry over a high heat for a few minutes.
  3. 3.
    Now stir in the garlic, ginger and beans, and cook until the beans are tender but still bright green.
  4. 4.
    Return the chicken or beef strips to the pan and add the spring onions and Royco® Sweet and Sour Sauce.
  5. 5.
    Turn down the heat and simmer for a few more minutes, or until the chicken or beef is cooked right through, but the veggies are still crunchy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. 6.
    In the meantime, cook the noodles according to the packet instructions and drain well.
  7. 7
    Serve your stir-fry hot with the noodles, fresh coriander and cashew nuts (or peanuts).
