Ingredients
- 2 Enriched +DEFENCE eggs
- 700ml good quality chicken or vegetable stock
- Ginger, 1” piece thinly sliced and cut into matchsticks
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 60g shiitake mushrooms, smaller ones left whole, larger ones cut in half
- 4 spring onions, washed, trimmed and cut into 2-3 sections
- 1 chicken breast, cooked
- 150g soba noodles
- 100g Tenderstem broccoli
- 1/2 red pepper, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- Black pepper to season
- Fresh herbs such as coriander, mint or parsley, to serve (optional)
Method
- Bring a small saucepan of water to boil.
- Drop in the eggs and boil for 7 minutes, then run under a cold tap to stop the process. Peel when cold enough to handle.
- In another saucepan of boiling water, cook the noodles according to packet instructions.
- Bring a final small saucepan of water to boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the Tenderstem broccoli for a couple of minutes. Drain and allow it to steam whilst you prepare the rest of the dish.
- To make the ramen broth, add the stock, ginger, garlic, spring onion and shiitake mushrooms to a saucepan and bring to boil. Cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat.
- Slice the cooked chicken breast and add to the broth to heat through (until piping hot).
- Add the sliced red pepper and cook for a couple of minutes more.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper.
- Take the broth off the heat and stir in the soy sauce.
- To serve, refresh the noodles under some running water then divide between two bowls. Ladle the hot stock, chicken and vegetables over the noodles.
- Top with a halved egg, Tenderstem broccoli and sprinkle some fresh herbs on top. Finish by drizzling a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil on top of each bowl.
