For the Sauce
- 4½ tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
- 1½ tsp gluten-free white or red miso paste
- 1 tsp ginger paste

- 1 tsp gluten-free plain flour
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, miso paste, ginger paste, dark brown sugar, gluten-free plain flour, and 1 tbsp water. Mix well until smooth and set aside to allow the flavors to develop.
- Cook the noodles: Follow the package instructions to cook the dried flat rice noodles until just tender. Drain and set aside, ensuring they don’t stick together.

- Cook the chicken: Add the chopped chicken strips to the wok with the vegetables and stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until the chicken pieces turn slightly golden and are cooked through.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked rice noodles to the wok and toss with the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the prepared sauce and add the cashews, continuing to stir-fry until all the ingredients are well coated and the sauce becomes slightly sticky.
- Finish and serve: Sprinkle with dried chilli flakes if desired, then garnish with sliced spring onions and chopped coriander. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
