    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Place the vermicelli in a large bowl and cover with boiling water; soak for around 5 minutes until expanded, then drain and set aside.

    2 Heat oil in large, heavy- bottomed pan, add pepper, carrot and broccoli and stir fry for a couple of minutes. Add chopped chicken and ginger and stir-fry over medium heat until chicken is cooked.

    3 Cut vermicelli up a little; add to the chicken together with the soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, water and beans. Bring to the boil and simmer for a further 5 minutes — more water can be added if needed.

    Variations

    • Replace chicken with lean beef, lamb, pork or mince.
    • Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free soy sauce and check sweet chilli sauce is gluten free.

    HFG tip

    Make garlic-flavoured oil by peeling and slicing garlic cloves, adding to a bottle of oil and allowing time to infuse. Remember not to use the garlic pieces in your cooking.

    If you are on a low FODMAP diet choose a sweet chilli sauce that does not contain garlic or make your own.
