Instructions:
Preheat oven to 220c/425f/Gas 7.

1 Beat 5 eggs in a bowl and season with salt. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in
an ovenproof frying pan, add the vegetables from chow mein and stir fry for
a few minutes.

2 Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables and cook gently for two minutes,
stirring the mixture from the pan edge to the centre as it cooks. Put the
pan in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

3 Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a griddle pan. Add the spring onions and
cook for a few minutes on each side or until cooked tender. Season. Mix
half the chow mein sauce with a dash of soy sauce, tomato ketchup and a
dash of balsamic vinegar. Serve the frittata with griddled spring onions
and sauce.

4 Fill a deep pan one third full with oil and heat. Cut the chicken into
3cm cubes and place in a bowl. Season and add a dash of soy sauce and
chopped coriander.

5 Place a handful of noodles from the chow mein into another bowl. Separate
the remaining egg, retain the yolk and add enough egg white to the noodles
to bind together.

6 Wrap a few noodles around each piece of chicken and dust each bundle with
the plain flour. Deep fry the chicken pieces until cooked through, crispy
and light golden. Drain on kitchen paper.

7 Heat 150ml/ 1/4 pint water in a wok, add the greens and cook quickly to
wilt. Pour over the remaining chow mein sauce and toss together. Season.
Pile the spring greens on a plate, top with the chicken wrapped in noodles
and pour over the sauce.

8 Gently heat the sugar in a pan with 1 tbsp water until dissolves.
Increase the heat and cook until the syrup turns to caramel. Peel the
lemon, lime and orange and cut into 1cm thick slices.

9 Carefully dip the fruit into the caramel to coat, place on an oiled plate
and allow to set. Mix together the egg yolk, double cream and 1 tsp icing
sugar in a shallow dish. Cut rounds out of the bread with a large cutter
and dip in the egg mix to coat.

10 Heat the butter in a frying pan, add the bread and cook for 1-2 minutes
on each side, or until golden brown. Place the bread on a plate, top with
fruits and dust with icing sugar.
