Trying something a little different from just desserts. This ended up being quite a simple dish to create.
Credit to this link for the recipe.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken stock (Family size liquid stock comes in this size)
- 1/4 Chinese cabbage finely sliced (I did 1/3 of a average sized chinese cabbage)
- 1 small Red or Yellow chilli finely sliced (with seeds if you want a real bite)
- 2 tablespoons Coriander chipped
- 1 bunch Bok Choy shredded
- 1 tablesppon reduced-salt Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
- 1 teaspoon crushed ginger
- 125g Hokkien egg noodles (cooked)
- 1 cup skinless Chicken cooked
- 1 cup Mung Bean sprouts
- 1 spring onion sliced (to garnish)
Method
- Steam chicken breasts prior using a steamer or in packets in oven. (I just used the 2 chicken breast packs you get in the meat isle). Ensure skin is removed prior if any. Once steamed place aside covered
- Combine stock and cabbage in a large pot and bring to boil
- Simmer over medium heat for 4 minutes (or until cabbage is soft)
- Add chilli, coriander, bok choy, ginger, fish sauce and soy sauce and continue simmering for 4 minutes
- Heat up cooked noodles in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds (I used the cooked ones found in the asian isle that are vacuumed sealed. Leave them in the vacuum packs, just puncture with a fork before putting into the microwave)
- Separate the noodles into 2-4 bowls (depending on how hungry you are!)
- Take soup mixture off the heat and ladle over the noodles
- Place small handful of mung bean sprouts on top of the noodles, forming a small mound
- Uncover chicken you had previously steamed and slice into chunks. Place chicken over the mung bean sprouts
- Top with sliced spring onions to garnish
