Noodle-licious

Lots of veggies, some noodles, and a drizzle of sauces with some seasoning, when mixed together, result in a bowl full of refreshing appetiser— a perfect thing to have in the evenings when you feel a little hungry but don’t want to ruin your dinner by having something heavy. Soup with noodles is a dish on its own.

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Ingredients

250g chicken breast

800ml chicken stock

1 pack of PRAN Mr. Noodles

1 tsp fresh chopped ginger

1 finely chopped, garlic clove

2 tbsp sweet corn

2-3 mushrooms, thinly sliced

2 spring onions, shredded

2 tsp soy sauce, plus extra for serving

Mint or basil leaves and a little shredded chilli, to serve

1/2 tsp salt

10 whole black peppercorn

Method

Pour the stock in a pan and add chicken, ginger, garlic, and peppercorn. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat, and partly cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a board and shred into bite-sized pieces using a couple of forks.

Return the chicken to the stock with PRAN Mr. Noodles, corn, mushrooms, salt, half the spring onions and the soy sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender. Ladle into two bowls and scatter over the remaining spring onions, herbs and chilli shreds, if using. Serve with extra soy sauce for adding in.
