Ingredients

1 unit red bell pepper, cut into 0.5 cm strips
200 grams udon noodle
15 ml hoisin sauce
20 ml soy sauce
250 grams chopped chicken thigh
0.5 unit ginger, grated
16 ml honey
10 grams cashew
1 unit zucchini, cut into 0.5-1 cm half-moons
1 clove garlic, grated
75 ml water

Instructions

In a pot, add plenty of water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. When it boils, add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
Heat a pan over medium heat without oil and toast the cashews for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden. Set aside.
Cut the bell pepper into thin 0.5 cm strips and the zucchini into 0.5-1 cm half-moons. Peel and grate the garlic and half of the ginger.
In the same pan, add a drizzle of oil, the grated garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes over medium heat until golden. Add the bell pepper and zucchini and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, and water until smooth.
Add the noodles and hoisin sauce mixture to the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Stir and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the sauce thickens and flavors meld. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chicken noodles and vegetables in deep bowls and sprinkle the toasted cashews on top.
