Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and chop the onion into wedges.
- Cut half the broccoli (double for 4p) into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
- Pop the chopped broccoli and onion onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until veg is tender, 18-20 mins.
- Meanwhile, boil a large pot of water for the udon noodles.
- Add the noodles then lower heat to medium-high and cook until warmed through, 1-2 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, place a large pan on medium heat (no oil).
- Once hot, add the sesame seeds and lightly toast, stirring regularly, 2-3 mins.
- Once toasted, transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to vacuum packing used to keep it fresh.
- Fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic and 75ml water (double for 4p).
- Simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.
TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if needed.
- When everything is ready, divide the noodles between your plates.
- Top with the glazed chicken, roasted onion and broccoli.
- Spoon over the remaining hoisin sauce from the pan.
- Scatter over the toasted sesame seeds to finish.
