Chicken Noodle Soup from Jamie Oliver
Ginger, Rendang Spice, Crunchy Veg & Coconut Milk
Ingredients
- 2 x 150g skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons rendang curry paste
- 10 cm piece of ginger
- 1 litre fresh chicken stock
- 1 x 400g tin of light coconut milk
- 200 g wholewheat noodles
- 160 g baby corn
- 1 x 320g pack of mixed stir-fry veg
Instructions
- Put a large non-stick frying pan and a large, deep pan on a medium heat.
- Slice each chicken breast into three long strips and massage with half the rendang paste and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Use a ball of kitchen paper to lightly rub the frying pan with olive oil, then add the chicken.
- Peel the ginger and chop into matchsticks.
- Sprinkle half over the chicken, then cook for 5 minutes, turning regularly, and letting the chicken get dark and gnarly – you want it to almost blacken.
- Alongside, sprinkle the rest of the ginger and rendang paste into the deep pan, pour in the stock and bring to the boil.
- Go in with the coconut milk and noodles, halve the corn lengthways and add to the pan, then cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the mixed veg for a final minute until piping hot, then season to perfection and divide between warm bowls.
- Add 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar to the chicken pan to deglaze it, moving the chicken around to pick up all those dark sticky bits.
- Cut the chicken pieces in half, and serve on top of your noodle soup.
