What is Chicken Ramen?

Ingredients
- 1.25 litres chicken stock
- 1 thumb-sized piece ginger, shredded
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp oil
- 300g egg noodles
- 1 pak choi, quartered lengthways
- 2 handfuls kale
- A small bunch coriander, chopped
- ½ red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
Methods
Step 1
Put the chicken stock into a large pan with the ginger, red chilli, garlic, and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, place the chicken breasts between two pieces of clingfilm and gently flatten to an even thickness. Season well and drizzle with a little oil.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Step 3
Add the noodles and pak choi to the broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Then add the kale and cook for another minute.
Step 4
Divide the noodles and vegetables between bowls. Pour over the broth, top with sliced chicken, and finish with coriander, red onion, chilli, and lime juice.
