Not quite as strange as it sounds, this is a great way of using the not so great looking or older pheasants that maybe a little tough, and is a bit different from the usual roast pheasant, we're going to lightly marinate the pheasant breast and then smoke them, sounds like a bit of a faff but works fantastically well with the teriyaki sauce giving the dish a great flavour

SHOPPING LIST
1.A finely chopped piece of fresh ginger ( approximately 50g)
2. 2 finely chopped lemon grass stalks
3. 6 crushed cloves of garlic
4. 8 tablespoons of sweet dark soy sauce ( available in the supermarket)
5. 6 tablespoons of maple syrup

11. A good splash of sesame oil
METHOD
1. Add the ginger, garlic, lemon grass, soy sauce lime juice and maple syrup to a saucepan and bring gently to the boil
2. Make sure you stir well and simmer until thickened to a caramel consistency and allow to cool
3. Remove the skin and any fatty bits from the pheasant and marinade in the cool mixture for at least 2 hours, overnight would be great
4. Remove the pheasant from the marinade and place in a smoker for 10 minutes, if you don't have a smoker place under a medium grill for 10 minutes, being careful not to burn and over cook the pheasant
5. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the noodles, drain off and toss with a good splash of sesame oil and place in a large serving bowl
6. Slice the pheasant and arrange neatly over the noodles, sprinkle with the chopped coriander and chilli, drizzle over some of the remaining marinade and serve immediately
