Ingredients (2 serves)
Ingredients
- 200g chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 113g egg noodles (thick)
- 500ml chicken stock
- 1.5 tbsp gochujang paste (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp tamari
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tsp ginger & garlic paste (or pre-minced ginger & garlic)
- 1.5 tbsp peanut butter
- 100g bean sprouts
- 200g pak choi, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp Spring onion
- 1.5 tsp Chilli oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Method
-
Cook the chicken: Season chicken breast with your favourite seasoning mix (I used BBQ flavouring). Heat a small splash of oil in a pan. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through (~7-9 mins). Remove and let rest.
-
Make the broth: In a medium pot, combine chicken stock, gochujang, soy sauce, lime juice, ginger & garlic, and peanut butter. Bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Cook the noodles: Add ramen noodles to the broth and cook according to packet instructions (~3–4 mins).
-
Add greens: Toss in pak choi and beansprouts for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
-
Serve: Divide noodles, chicken, and veggies between bowls. Pour over the flavorful broth. Optional: top with extra lime, sesame seeds, or spring onions.
