Japanese shredded pickled ginger (shoga) adds striking crimson colour and intense ginger flavour to stir-fries. Find it in specialty Japanese or Korean stores. By comparison, sushi ginger (gari) is light pink, mild and thinly sliced. Use it in a pinch.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tbsp sodium-reduced soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sake or rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/2 sweet green pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 pkg (340 g) chuka soba noodles, Chinese-style instant noodles such as Y & Y Brand
  • 2 tbsp pickled shredded ginger, shoga
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Preparation

Cut chicken lengthwise into 1/4-inch (5 mm) wide strips. In bowl, toss together chicken, 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the soy sauce, the sake, sesame oil and sugar; marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cut carrot in half lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Thinly slice green pepper. Set aside.

In large wok or skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the vegetable oil over high heat; stir-fry chicken mixture, in batches, until browned, about 3 minutes. Remove to clean bowl.

Add remaining oil to wok; stir-fry carrot, green pepper, cabbage and garlic until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Add to chicken.

Add noodles, 3/4 cup (175 mL) water and remaining soy sauce to wok; cover and steam, breaking up noodles with spoon, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Return chicken mixture to wok; stir-fry until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in ginger and green onions.

Additional information :

Tip: Chuka soba noodles are not fried. In a pinch, use 1 pkg (100 g) dried raman noodles, such as Sapporo Ichiban, discarding flavour packet.
