Instructions: 1. Cook the noodles following the instructions on the packet. Set aside and keep warm.

2. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat a nonstick wok or frying pan over high heat then add one tablespoon of the black bean sauce and the garlic. Stir until sizzling, taking care not to let the garlic burn.

3. Next add the chicken pieces and stir for about two minutes. Mix the vegetables and stir for further four minutes.

4. Add the remainder of the black bean sauce to the wok or pan, with the cooked noodles. Reduce the heat and simmer for one minute.

5. Put a serving on each plate, and garnish with sliced spring onions.

Serve immediately
