- 200 g rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 400 g chicken breast fillets, cut into 1 cm-thick strips

What to do

Add the broccoli and cook for 1–2 minutes, then add the bok choy and mushrooms and cook for another minute. Pour in the soy sauce and toss well.
3. Add the noodles to the pan and toss to combine.
4. Divide the stir-fry among four bowls, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.
