Gluten Free Chicken Chow Mein

4.77 from 13 votes

I use my easy gluten free egg noodles recipe to make this gluten free chow mein really authentic, but if you prefer you can use gluten free rice noodles or even spaghetti instead. This recipe serves two people and is gluten and dairy free. Cooking time does not include making the noodles (approx 30 mins).

Ingredients

1 x portion of my gluten free egg noodles recipe
200 g chopped chicken breast
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp chopped ginger
Salt and Pepper
4 spring onions
200 g mixed stir fry veg
50 g beansprouts

For the sauce:

3 tbsp gluten free tamari
1 tbsp cornflour
1.5 tbsp dry sherry
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp chopped ginger
1 tsp caster sugar

Instructions

First make the sauce:

Add the tamari, sherry and cornflour to a bowl and give it a good mix to get rid of any lumps.
Add the sesame oil, chopped ginger and caster sugar. Stir well and then set to one side.

To make the chow mein:

Cook the noodles as per the recipe (or pack instructions if using rice noodles). Drain and set to one side (tip - toss the noodles in a little sesame oil to stop them sticking while you cook the rest).
Add a little toasted sesame oil to a wok or large pan and heat on a high heat. Once hot, add the chicken, ginger, garlic and salt and pepper, Stir fry for 3-4 minutes until brown.
Add the stir fry veg, beansprouts and three-quarters of the spring onions. Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the drained noodles to the pan and mix well. Give the sauce a good stir (in case the corn flour has settled on the bottom) and then pour over the noodles. Stir fry for another minute, ensuring everything is coated evenly in the sauce. Serve straight away and garnish with the extra spring onions!

Notes

I recommend eating this straight away. You can refrigerate any leftovers and reheat - but it won't be quite as good! Make sure you always reheat thoroughly. I don't recommend freezing this chow mein.
