For a fun, healthier take on the classic Chinese takeaway dish, try this Chinese Orange Chicken Salad from TV chef Ching-He Huang. It pairs wholegrain noodles with tender chicken and crunchy veg in a citrussy dressing made with reduced-salt light soy sauce. A sprinkling of black sesame seeds at the end adds a nice finishing touch, if you like.

  • 7½ cm piece ginger, finely grated
  • 1 salad onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp reduced-salt light soy sauce
  • 3 oranges, 1 juiced, 2 segmented
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 (350g) packs diced chicken breast
  • 2 tsp chinese five spice
  • 2 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tsp rapeseed oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp shaoxing rice wine or mirin
  • 200g radishes
  • 2 yellow peppers, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 (80g) bags watercress
  • 1 tbsp black sesame seeds (optional)

Method

Step 1

Soak the noodles in boiling water as per pack instructions. Drain; rinse under cold water. Drizzle over the sesame oil and toss through.

Step 2

Meanwhile, put the deseeded chopped chilli, one-third of the grated ginger, the salad onion, reduced-salt light soy sauce, orange juice and olive oil into a lidded jar and shake together well to make a dressing.

Step 3

Put the chicken in a bowl. Season with the five spice and dark soy sauce; dust with cornflour.

Step 4

Heat the rapeseed oil in a wok over a medium heat. Add the garlic, remaining ginger and 2 remaining chopped chillies and stir for 5 secs. Add the chicken, sear on one side for 2 mins, then toss. Pour in the rice wine or mirin and stir-fry for 4-5 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 5

Divide the radishes, peppers, watercress, segmented oranges, chicken and noodles between 4 plates. Finish with the dressing and sesame seeds, if using.
