Directions

Add the noodles to a saucepan, cover with boiling water and place on medium-high heat. Simmer for four minutes, then drain in a colander, drizzle with oil and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan on a high heat.
Add the chicken and stir-fry for four minutes until golden.
Then add the pepper, snow peas and half the scallions. Stir-fry for five minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
Stir in the soy sauce and 2 Tbsp water. Lower the heat to medium, stir in the chow mein paste (you can get this ready-made or make your own if you have a bit more time), and stir-fry for one minute to dissolve.
Then add the noodles to the pan and stir through until piping hot.
Serve the chicken chow mein in bowls sprinkled with the remaining spring onion.
