  3. Sauté the red pepper in the cookware for a few minutes until tender. Add the broccoli and fry for another minute or two before adding the spring onions.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the stir-fry along with the sauce. Cook for 2 – 3 minutes then remove from heat, the sauce will continue to thicken as it stands. 
  5. Season to taste with pepper and serve immediately over egg noodles or basmati rice.
