    Instructions

    1 In a large heatproof bowl, place noodles. Cover with boiling water and leave for 5-10 minutes. Drain well.

    2 In a large wok or non-stick frying pan, heat half of the oil over medium-high. Stir-fry chopped kale for 1 minute, or until just wilted. Remove kale from pan and set aside.

    3 Add remaining oil to pan and swirl to coat base. Add garlic, chilli and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds. Add onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add chicken strips and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until chicken is lightly golden.

    4 Add corn and asparagus. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add a splash of water to pan to create steam, if needed. Add noodles and toss to combine. Drizzle over soy sauce. To serve, divide noodles among 4 bowls and scatter with chopped nuts and chilli, if using.

    Variations

    Make it low FODMAP: Use 1 tablespoon garlic infused oil instead of garlic, green tips of spring onions instead of onions and green beans instead of asparagus.

    Make it gluten free: Check pastes and soy sauce are gluten free.
