Honey Chicken With Spring Onions

This is a very unusual recipe for me as I have never used vegemite in cooking before. Being Australian I absolutely love the stuff on toast and thought I would try this to see how it turned out. I thought the vegemite would totally overpower this dish but it just adds a subtle flavour. As my hubby and I are eating lower carb meals in the evenings I served ours with lots of extra vegetables rather than the noodles listed. I added bok choy, carrot, snow peas, shiitake musrooms, red and yellow pepper instead of the green that was listed as I already had a lot of green from the bok choy and snow peas. I made as listed except for adgjusting amounts as I was cooking so many vegetables I had to up the amount of water used, hence adjusted vegemite and honey amount accordingly.
