3. Add the onion to the pan, cook it for 1/4 minute then add the mushroom and cook for a further 3/4 minute, stirring them about. Now add the bean sprouts and bamboo shoots with, if necessary, a little more oil and cook for 2 minutes.

4. Next, add the stock, seasonings, sesame oil, sherry and soy sauce and cook for 1/2 minute. Blend the corn-flour with the water and stir it in. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the boiled noodles and ham and heat through.

5. Lastly add the chicken and stir all together for 1/4 minute over a good heat. Turn the mixture into a heated serving dish and sprinkle with the very finely shredded ham.
