Combine the marinade ingredients together in a large bowl. And the chicken and give it a good stir, making sure it’s well coated. Cover with cling film and leave in the fridge, for at least half an hour.

Finely slice the white part of the spring onion and keep the green part. Chop the remaining spring onion, carrot, pepper and garlic into matchstick sized pieces.

Place a wok on a medium-high heat and add a teaspoon of groundnut oil. When the oil starts to smoke add the chicken and leave for a minute, before giving it a stir. Fry until browned on all sides, and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and keep in a bowl.

Add a little more oil to the wok, add the onion and carrot and stir. After 30 seconds add the garlic and ginger, and stir, before adding the broccoli, peppers and white part of the spring onion. After another 30 seconds, add the remaining green part of the spring onion.

Add the noodles and carefully break up and mix with the vegetables. Add the soy and stir, before returning the chicken to the wok. When everything is nice and hot, crack an egg into a cup and whisk a little, before pouring into the wok and mixing well, making sure it doesn’t catch on the bottom.

Serve in bowls with chopsticks.
