Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients for the pickles together and set aside.

  2. Place the noodles in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to stand for 3 mins. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.

  3. Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and ginger to make the teriyaki. Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over a high heat. Add the chicken-style pieces and cook to pack instructions. Pour over the teriyaki and cook for a further 2-3 mins, tossing frequently, until bubbling.

  4. Fill the lettuce leaves with noodles and top with the teriyaki ‘no-chicken’, drained pickles and scatter with spring onions and sesame seeds. Drizzle with any remaining pan juices.
