Instructions:

1. Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. Grate the ginger and finely chop the garlic. In a bowl, combine them with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, chili flakes, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add chicken and ensure it’s well-coated. Set aside for 15 minutes.
2. As the chicken marinates, let’s prepare the plum sauce. De-stone and dice the fresh plums. In a saucepan, add the plums, remaining soy sauce, and brown sugar. Allow it to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until it transforms into a thick sauce.
3. While the sauce simmers, cook the egg noodles as per packet instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
4. Heat up a skillet with the remaining sesame oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook each side for about 7-8 minutes or until fully cooked.
5. Once the chicken is ready, slice it into bite-sized pieces and toss them into the pan with the prepared noodles.
6. Pour the plum sauce over the chicken and noodles, giving it a good toss to ensure everything’s coated with that luscious sauce.
7. Finish by sprinkling sliced spring onions and fresh coriander on top.

Tips:

1. You can tweak the chili flakes amount based on your heat preference.
2. Using ripe plums will ensure a sweeter and richer sauce. If your plums are a tad sour, feel free to add an additional spoon of brown sugar.
3. Marinating the chicken for longer (up to an hour) will infuse more flavors.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve your Chicken and noodles with plum sauce hot, straight from the skillet.
• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette complements the dish perfectly.
• For those who like an extra kick, a side of chili oil or chili paste is ideal.
