1. Cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then drain. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large wok, add the chicken, then stir-fry over a high heat for a few mins. Tip in the carrot sticks, then continue stir-frying for about 4 mins until the chicken is cooked and starting to brown.
2. Quickly stir in the honey and lime juice, bubble for 30 secs, then add the sesame seeds and cooked noodles. (It's easier to use tongs at this stage to mix everything together.) Warm everything through briefly, then toss in the coriander just before serving.

Know-how: Dried noodles

Dried noodles are a handy storecupboard standby. Try breaking them into short lengths and adding to soups for a quick, yet filling, lunch.

'The ingredients for this Sticky chicken stir-fry were easy to find, making it a great, quick after-work meal. I would probably use less lime juice next time, though.'

  Tasty, but the noodles were difficult to integrate. I ended up with clumps of noodles. Maybe because I had to use rice noodles, (gluten free).

  This dish was really tasty and quick. Will definitely make again. Sue - I don't use rice noodles any more for this type of dish. I have the same problem. They don't seem to want to mix and you just end up with a glutinous mass.

  Used egg noodles an no problems with this. Next time I do this I will use only 1 lime and 1 large carrot and add small broccoli florets or fresh green beans to add interest.

  I add some green peppers and cashew nuts to this recipe. However the taste was not that good. it was too mild and we had to add soy sauce.

  I added garlic, fresh ginger, a yellow pepper and some beansprouts to make sure we got out 5-a-day and we all found it very tasty, including the kids. But forgot the coriander, even though I had it in the fridge!
