Chicken Chow Mein SERVES 4 PREPARATION: 30 MIN marinade:
1 tbsp. oyster sauce 1 tsp. soya sauce 1 tsp. sugar Salt and pepper ingredients:
2 chicken breast 2 tbsp. sunflower oil 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) 300 g egg noodles (put in water until soft) 100 g Bok Choy or Broccoli (chopped into small florets) 2 sticks of celery (chopped into fine strips) 1 red pepper (finely chopped) 100 g sugar snap peas 1 red onion (finely chopped) 2 spring onions (chopped into strips) A handful of bamboo shoots garnish:

Make the marinade and cut the chicken into thin strips. Marinate the chicken pieces for 20-25 minutes. Follow the next 4 steps while the chicken is marinating: 1) Start by putting the noodles in hot water for approx. 5 minutes until soft. Then put them in cold water to cool. 2) Mix the soya sauce, oyster sauce and chicken stock, salt and pepper in a bowl. 3) Fry the cashew nuts and sesame seeds in oil or in a dry pan until golden. 4) Heat the wok on a medium heat. Rinse all the vegetables. Chop the celery and broccoli (or Bok Choy) into 2 cm wide pieces. If you replace the Bok Choy with broccoli, peel the broccoli stalk and chop into 2 cm wide pieces. Cut the red pepper in half, remove the seeds and cut the pepper into large cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion. Chop the spring onions and sugar snap peas into pieces of 2 cm. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion and meat. Brown the meat until nearly cooked through. Fry in small portions until all the meat has browned. Add the noodles (which should be soft after being in water). Set the chicken pieces and noodles aside on a dish. Fry the rest of the vegetables in smaller batches – except for the spring onions. Season with salt - but remember there is also salt in the soya sauce. While frying the Bok Choy or broccoli, add 1/4 cup of water. Mix all the ingredients together – add more oil as required. When you add the mix of soya sauce, oyster sauce and chicken stock, make a well in the middle of the wok mixture. Use chop sticks to turn the noodles in the dish. Set aside the spring onions and fried cashew nuts. Use finely chopped spring onions or edible flowers as garnish.

Salad wraps with chicken SERVES 4 PREPARATION: 35 MIN
marinade:
1 tbsp. soya sauce 2 tbsp. oyster sauce 1 tbsp. dry sherry 1 tsp. sugar Salt and pepper ingredients:
1 iceberg- or romaine lettuce leaves (carefully separate the leaves and immersed them in cold water) 1 tbsp. peanut oil 1 clove of garlic (finely chopped) 1 slice of ginger (finely chopped) 2 spring onions (finely chopped) 500 g chicken fillets, roughly chopped 4 water chestnuts (finely chopped, cut some into thin strips to use as garnish) 1 stick of celery (chopped into fine strips) ½ freshly chopped red chilli Cornflour if required (to thicken the dish)
Wash the lettuce leaves and dry on a tea towel. Use the middle crisp “bowl shaped” leaf. Mix the ingredients into the marinade. Cut the chicken into very thin strips and stir into the marinade. Let the meat marinate for 20 mins. Heat the wok to a medium heat while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Finely chop the garlic, ginger and chilli. Chop the celery, water chestnuts and spring onions – save some for garnish. Heat the oil and add the garlic, ginger and spring onions, taking care not to brown them. Add the chicken (save the marinade) and heat until cooked through. Set the meat aside on a plate. Add the vegetables and fry until tender but still crisp. Add the marinade and any cornflour mixed with water to thicken. Put the chicken back in the wok and heat for 2-3 minutes. Place a bowl-shaped lettuce leaf on a plate and put a spoonful of chicken and vegetables inside it. Use the lettuce leaf like a “taco”, with the meat filling in the middle. Repeat until there are no more lettuce leaves – you could also put 2-3 pieces on each plate and serve as a main dish.
