- In a pan, add some boiling water and mix in the Stock Cube. Add the Egg Noodles and cook for 4/5 minutes until cooked. Drain and set to one side.
- In a Wok or frying pan, heat up the Sesame Oil on a high heat. Add in the Onions for a minute or two before adding in the cooked Chicken. Stir for 2\3 minutes before adding the Salt, MSG and White Pepper.
- After a few more minutes, the Chicken and Onions should be browning off. Add in the Noodles and let cook for a minute or two whilst stirring, letting the cooked noodles brown off a little too.
- Add in the Soy Sauce. This can be done a little at a time as you may not need or want to add the full 50ml, depending on your taste. Keep stirring to coat and cook everything for another minute or two.
- Finally, add in the Beansprouts and Spring Onion for another minute or two.
- Serve for a calorie controlled/high protein takeaway alternative.
I bought my MSG off Amazon for around 3 quid so it's easy to get a hold off. This is what helps the dish taste like a takeaway. The latest research shows that MSG is completely ok as part of a balanced and healthy diet. ​Is MSG Really Bad for You?
