STIR-FRY OF CHICKEN WITH HOKKIEN NOODLES RECIPE | GOOD FOOD
The secret to this dish is creating a rich sauce to coat the noodles. A good sauce should combine the natural flavours of the ingredients used with a few carefully selected seasonings to enhance those flavours.

Steps:
Blanch the broccoli florets by placing them in a covered microwave-safe dish with ¼ cup of water. Microwave for 2½ minutes at high power. Alternatively, blanch the broccoli in boiling water for 2 minutes.
Heat a wok until it is very hot and add the oil around the top edge so it runs into the bottom of the wok. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli and toss until the garlic starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add the sliced chicken, season with a little salt and stir-fry until the chicken starts to brown. Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, pepper, sugar and chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Taste the sauce forming in the wok. It should be strong and flavourful. Adjust the seasoning as desired.
Add the broccoli and noodles to the wok and mix well to combine. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are nearly al dente. Add the basil then pour over the cornflour mixture, stirring through until the sauce is thickened and coating the noodles. Transfer to a plate and garnish with basil leaves and fried shallots.
Adam's tip To separate hokkien noodles in their bag, poke a few holes in the bag and massage the noodles. Once separated, you can even microwave them in the bag before stirring them into the wok, which can really speed up the cooking process.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Grease the ovenproof dish with butter.
- Soak the lasagne sheets in recently boiled warm water to soften while you prepare the two sauces.
- For the pork and spinach sauce, heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Add the sausage meat and brown over a high heat for 5–10 minutes until golden-brown, breaking up the mince with two wooden spoons. Sprinkle in the flour and fry for a minute.
- Add the chilli, garlic and mushrooms and fry for about 5 minutes. Stir in the crème fraîche and spinach. Bring to the boil and allow to bubble for a couple of minutes. Season well with salt and pepper and set aside.
- For the tomato sauce, mix all the ingredients together in a jug or bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
- Drain the lasagne sheets.
- Spoon one-third of the spinach sauce into the base of the ovenproof dish. Spoon one-third of the tomato sauce on top and arrange half the lasagne sheets over the tomato sauce. Repeat using two more layers of spinach and tomato sauce and one of lasagne sheets. Sprinkle over the grated cheese.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the top of the dish is golden-brown and bubbling around the edges. Serve immediately.

For the Bolognese sauce (can be made up to two days ahead)
1. Heat a heavy-based pot and, when hot, add the oil and butter, then the onion. Saute for a few minutes until soft then add the carrot and celery, then the garlic. Cook gently until they have softened and are lightly golden.
2. Add the mince, crumbling it in the pot with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, and cook briefly until the meat is no longer red, but do not brown it. It's important to salt the meat at this stage to extract its juices for the sauce and to cook the meat gently so it retains delicacy.
3. Now add the wine and bring to the boil. Cook for a few minutes on high heat before adding the rosemary and tomatoes. When it starts to bubble, turn the heat to the barest of simmers, partly cover and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir the pot from time to time, adding some water if necessary.
For the bechamel (can be made ahead)
This is not a gluggy, tasteless white glue. When made well it is a delicious and velvety smooth milky sauce delicately flavoured with bay, peppercorns and nutmeg.
1. In a pot, melt the butter then add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon. Cook on medium heat for a few minutes but do not let the flour colour. Take a whisk and pour in the cold milk all at once, whisking constantly.
2. Continue to whisk as the sauce heats and comes to the boil. Initially you will have lumps, but as the mixture comes to the boil, the sauce will thicken and become smooth. Add a good pinch of salt, the bay leaf, peppercorns and grated nutmeg if desired.
3. Turn the heat to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring often. The sauce should have a thickish pouring consistency. The longer you cook the sauce the thicker it becomes. Remove from the heat and cover with plastic wrap to avoid a skin forming. This sauce can also be made ahead and lasts for a few days. Reheat over a low heat and stir constantly.
To assemble
I find it easiest if the bolognese and bechamel sauces are not cold, so if you need to reheat them, do so gently. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to the boil while you roll out the pasta dough.
Roll and cook the dough
1. Cut the dough in half and roll it out to the thinnest setting. Cut the sheets in 25cm lengths and lay out on a lightly dusted workbench while you roll out the rest. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and place a large bowl of cold water near the stove. When the water is boiling rapidly, drop in a few sheets at a time. Cook until the pasta is al dente, scoop out with a slotted spoon and put into the cold water. Continue until all the pasta has been cooked. Drain the cooked pasta sheets and lay them out on tea towels or a tablecloth and pat dry.
2. Preheat oven to 180C.
3. Use a large baking dish with high sides (I use a 25cm x 35cm dish). Smear it generously with butter and spread a thin coating of bechamel and bolognese sauce on the bottom. Sprinkle on a little grated parmesan and cover with a layer of pasta sheets, cutting them to fit the dish.
4. Top with another thin layer of bechamel and bolognese and a sprinkle of parmesan. The key here is not to be heavy-handed with the sauces and cheese, or else the lasagne will become overly rich and clumsy. Continue until you have about six layers of pasta or you have almost run out of ingredients.
5. For the topping you can go two ways; either use just the bechamel and a generous sprinkling of parmesan and a few dots of butter or a last thin layer of bolognese, parmesan and butter. I use whatever I have left over, but that depends on how much bolognese has been mopped up with bread for a snack before the lasagne gets finished.
6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the lasagne has a light brown crust.* Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving directly from the dish.
*Note: I find the lasagne turns out best when it stands for 30 minutes before baking. You can even prepare it the day before and then bake it, but you will need to cook it longer and at a slightly lower temperature.

1. Preheat the oven to 200C. Place the eggplant on a baking tray and brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Season to taste. Roast for 30 minutes, turning once, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and drain on paper towel.
2. Meanwhile, to make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan, add the flour and stir over low heat until the mixture is dry and grainy. Gradually whisk in the milk and slowly bring to a simmer. Season to taste and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until thick. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to cool slightly.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, simmer the tomatoes and their juice, 2 tablespoons oil, garlic and sugar for 8-10 minutes, or until thick. Season to taste and stir in the basil.
4. Toss the spinach in a large frying pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Drain. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess moisture, then chop. Heat the remaining oil in a saucepan and cook the leek over low heat until soft. Remove from the heat, stir in the spinach and season to taste. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C.
5. Rub butter over the sides and base of a 3 litre heatproof casserole dish (about 19cm x 35cm x 7.5cm) and place a layer of pasta over the base. Top with eggplant slices then half the tomato sauce. Top with one-third of the cheese sauce, then a layer of pasta, a layer of pumpkin, another third of the cheese sauce and another layer of pasta. Top with the spinach mixture, the remaining tomato sauce and another layer of pasta. Spread the remaining cheese sauce over the top and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
6. Place the dish on an oven tray and bake for 45 minutes, or until browned and bubbling. Let stand for 10 minutes, then serve with a rocket salad.
