Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil. Grate the carrot (unpeeled). Finely grate the ginger and garlic. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Cut the courgette into 1cm batons (or half-moons if you prefer!). Cut the chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
Cook the flat noodles in the boiling water, separating the noodles with a fork, until tender, 4 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the honey and soy sauce (for the chicken) and cook until the chicken is coated, 1 minute. Transfer to a medium bowl.
While the chicken is cooking, combine the soy sauce (for the sauce), oyster sauce, brown sugar and a generous squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Return the wok or frying pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the carrot and courgette and stir-fry until tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the oyster sauce mixture and cook, tossing, until tender and well combined, 30 seconds. Return the honey-soy chicken to the pan, then add the cooked flat noodles and the water. Toss together until heated through. TIP: Seasoning is key in this dish! Taste and add more lemon juice if you like.
Divide the honey-soy chicken and flat noodles between plates. Top with the roasted peanuts. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
