Step one

Rehydrate the chow mein noodles in hot water for 2 minutes. Cool, drain and set aside.
Step two

In a large nonstick pan or (preferably) a wok, sauté the vegetables and spices in oil until the carrots are crisp.
Step three

Add the chicken, beans and noodles and mix well.
Step four

Mix the broth, soya sauce and the cornstarch and add to the wok. Mix well. Allow to cook on high until the broth is thick and a golden crust forms at the bottom.
Step five

Place a serving dish over the wok and in one motion flip the skillet so that the crust is on the top. (Make sure that the sauce is adequately reduced.)
Step six

Immediately garnish with the sesame sticks, green onion and a generous amount of honey sriracha.

Tips

For an appealing variation, you can make individual portions, separating the recipe into four small pans.

To liven up this dish, you may also add a roasted chicken breast half, lightly glazed with “honey sriracha” and honey. It’s “deluxe."

Lobster may also be added to the noodles for an “ultra baller” version.
