Mix the meat marinade ingredients together with the chicken and set aside.

Heat a large, heavy casserole pot until it is very hot and add in the oil.

Add in the ginger first and then after a few seconds, the garlic and white part of the spring onions.

Stir for a minute or two until the garlic starts to brown and then add the chicken.

Fry the chicken until it starts to brown, then add the Chinese cabbage, carrot, choy sum and spring onion greens.

Fry for a few minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Loosen the noodles in their packet by poking a few holes in the bag and massaging them to loosen. Microwave the entire bag for 2 minutes.

Add the seafood, then the sauce ingredients and stir to combine.

Bring to a simmer, then taste the sauce forming in the bottom. It should taste strong and flavourful. Adjust for seasoning.

Add in the noodles and bean sprouts and stir to combine.

Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are cooked through.

Pour over the cornflour mixture if there is any liquid that hasn’t been absorbed, fry for a further 30 seconds and remove from the heat.

Allow to stand for a few moments and then transfer to a plate.

Scatter with crispy fried shallots, and serve with your favourite chilli.
