Boil the noodles a minute shy of the packet time, drain, and toss with a splash of the Coconut Oil so they don't clump.
2
Heat the rest of the Coconut Oil in a wok until it shimmers, then flash the garlic for a few seconds.
3
Add the chicken and cook until just done, then splash in the fish sauce.
4
Slide the noodles in and toss vigorously for 60 seconds so every strand picks up the sauce.
5
Finish off the heat with spring onions and fresh cilantro.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lime just before serving lifts every other flavour.
