Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1.5 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1-2 red chilies cut into rounds
  • 2.5 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 6 ⅓ cups chicken stock
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoon sake dry sherry or Chinese cooking wine (Note 1)
  • 3 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
  • 4 portions egg noodles Note 2
  • 4 bok choi (pak choi) trimmed and stems separated (Note 3)
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken

To serve:

  • Sesame seeds optional
  • 2 scallions/spring onion thinly sliced
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place a pan on a medium heat, add the sesame oil and fry the chilli, garlic and ginger for a couple of minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and add the soy sauce, sake or wine and sweet chilli sauce and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the packet directions. Run them under cold water after you drain them to prevent them from sticking together and set aside.
  • Add the pak choi to the noodle soup and simmer for 2-3 minutes until it is just tender. Remove it from the broth and set it aside when done.
  • Assemble the soup by adding the noodles to each bowl and then pouring on the broth.
  • Then add the toppings - chicken pieces, pak choi and optional sesame seeds and scallions/spring onion to garnish.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. For an alcohol free alternative substitute sake rice vinegar. You will need ⅓ of the quantity of sake as it is more potent. You might also want to add a little more sugar to the broth to taste.
  2. Approx 2 ounces (50-60g) per person (dry weight)
  3. You can swap bok choy (pak choi) for 1 large handful or spinach per person.
