Instant Fresh chicken noodles
Instant fresh chicken ramen
I created this recipe because I was bored and soup everyday, it was influence by seriouseats.com instant noodle recipe.
For the chicken I bought a roasting chicken and once roasted I stripped it of all it's meat and popped it in a tupperware. It's a much cheaper way of buying chicken and quite often is much nicer as you can roast it with whatever you like. I made a garlic and lemon butter and rubbed it under the skin. It makes about 5 noodle pots from one roast chicken and I even had enough left over to make chicken and tarragon soup!
With the frozen veg you can really use whatever you like, the frozen spinach worked perfectly and tasted fantastic. But frozen sweetcorn or dried mushrooms would also be super tasty.
85g cooked, shredded chicken
80g pre cooked Udon Noodles - I would highly recommend Clear springs brown rice udon as it has a load of umami and tastes wonderful!
40g of frozen peas or 1 round of frozen spinach
½ knorr chicken stock pot
½ tbl miso paste 1 tsp Runny Honey 1 tsp Fish Sauce
½ crushed stick of lemongrass Salt and pepper
Note: You can also use Vietnamese rice noodles, these will need no pre-‐prep as they are fine enough that they will cook when the small amount of hot water is added.
3g (1tbls) chopped coriander
1 finely chopped spring onions
0.5 Litre Round Cliptop Kilner Jar
Cook the fresh noodles in boiling water for 1 minute, shock* in cold water, drain well, toss with 2 teaspoons of oil until coated.
Put chicken stock, miso, honey, soy, sesame, peas, lemongrass, onion and chicken into jar, then the noodles. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Put the chopped coriander and spring onion into the ziplock bag. Remove
the air from the bag and seal. Tuck bag into the top of the jar and seal. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
When you are ready to eat, remove flavour pack and add boiling water to just below
the top of the jar. Seal jar and let sit 2 minutes. Open jar, stir in contents of flavor pack, and serve.
*To shock the noodles just run the cold tap whilst you cook the noodles so that it is nice and cold when you run the water over them.
