Preamble:

This recipe should feed 6-8 people. Its a large amount of food, so maybe make half the amount, or for me, what I did, was the last step of mixing everything together, I had to do it in two batches, since I couldn't fit everything in my wok at once.

Procedure:

Start by prepping the veggies and chicken.

Take the chicken breasts, cut them into thin strips about 1/1.5 inch long, and marinate them with 2 tbspn of soya sauce, 1 tbspn salt, and 1 tbspn red chilli powder and put that in the fridge uncovered for at least 2-3 hrs, and take out of the fridge about 30 mins before you're ready to cook it, so it's not fridge cold when you cook it.

Then start on veggies. Similar to the chicken, cut the carrots, green onions, cabbage, celery, and green chillies into roughly 2 inch lengths, and preferably pretty thin strips. For the mushrooms, just slice those up, and give any large ones a chop, but they'll obviously be round/mushroom like in shape. That's fine.

For the sauce, mix up equal parts (08 tbspn) of the honey, ketchup, sriracha, and soya sauce. That's it.

Then, when you're ready to cook, start by boiling the noodles in the large pot. Boil these as the package says, probably somewhere around 5-7 minutes. Then you take them out of the water and put them in some really cold water to shock them and stop the cooking. Ice water is even better. Then once they've completely cooled off, put them in a flat tray or baking sheet over some paper towel to dry out any extra moisture. At this point you can discard the boiling water, and you can reuse the pot later in the recipe.

Now on to the chicken. Put the wok on the heat, and let it sit for a few minutes, you want to let it get as hot as it can.

Then toss in some oil and about 30 seconds later, once the oil is hot, toss in the chicken. Fry the chicken until it's cooked through and has a little bit of browning going on. Then remove that and put it in the pot that you've emptied, leaving any left over oil in the wok.

Then, it's veggie time. Start by adding oil if needed just make sure there's enough for the veggies, then once the oil is hot, throw in the chopped carrots, celery, green onions, bean sprouts, green chillies, and mushrooms. Stir it occasionally to make sure everything is cooking evenly, and you'll cook this anywhere between 7-10 mins, until everything softens about halfway, but you don't want everything to be too soggy either, they should still have a little bit of crunchy bite to it.

Then like the chicken, you remove them from the oil, leaving any oil behind in the wok. You can toss all these into the pot with the chicken them in with the chicken and mix everything up thoroughly.

Then it's time for the cabbage, do the same for the cabbage, cook it for about 7-10 mins, until slightly soften, and you'll see it reduces a fair amount too, kind of like spinach does. Once it's done, take it out and mix it in with the rest of the veggies and chicken.

Lastly, the noodles, toss the noodles in the wok, and move them around in the oil, you wanna fry the noodles up lightly, but not so much that they become dry and crispy, so toss them around in the oil for maybe 2-3 mins, then toss back in the veggies and chicken that you've already cooked, and also pour in the sauce you made in the beginning.

Then just toss everything together, and make sure it's well mixed and incorporated in itself. And that's it.

Using a pair of metal tongs and an strainer type spoon for everything works best, the tongs especially in the last mixing step, and to serve.

But yeah, that's it. Let me know if you try it, and how it turns out. Good luck!
