This dish is an accompaniment: Mushroom Chow Mein. I served it with my Spring Onion Chicken recipe. Using 'ready-to-wok' noodles for a no-faff deliciously tasty side, it's a very quick cook, really easy to make and full of flavoursome chestnut mushrooms.

method

To make this — as always - get all your ingredients out, chopped & measured — as in 5 minutes this will be complete and ready to serve!

You need to set your hob to the highest setting and get your wok/pan really hot.

As you add each set of ingredients - give them a good stir and let them fry for a minute or so until they just start to soften, then you can add the next set.
