Anyway, I digress, here's roughly what I did:
Ingredients:
spring greens
1 chicken breast on the bone
chopped fresh mint and coriander
thumb sized piece of ginger
2 large cloves of garlic
a couple of carrots
a broccoli stalk (no waste on this challenge!)
pinch of 5 spice powder
soy sauce
salt
Method:
- simmer the chicken breast in water with some salt until just cooked
- meanwhile shred the spring greens, trim and thinly slice the carrot, ginger, garlic cloves and broccoli stalk
- remove the chicken and shred the meat from the bone and reserve
- add the sliced vegetables to the stock and continue to simmer, meanwhile heat some oil in a pan and fry the shredded chicken with a good pinch of 5 spice powder and soy sauce.
- add the rice noodles to the stock and vegetables, then add the fresh herbs (in my case I had previously chopped and frozen them, but it makes no difference) and a good glug of soy sauce
- ladle the soup and noodles into a bowl and top with some chicken
- serve!
NB. If I wasn't also cooking for the children I would have also added some fresh, sliced chillies.....
