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

Method

  1. Bring a small saucepan of water to boil.
  2. 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.
  3. In another saucepan of boiling water, cook the noodles according to packet instructions.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Slice the cooked chicken breast and add to the broth to heat through (until piping hot).
  7. Add the sliced red pepper and cook for a couple of minutes more.
  8. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Take the broth off the heat and stir in the soy sauce.
  10. To serve, refresh the noodles under some running water then divide between two bowls. Ladle the hot stock, chicken and vegetables over the noodles.
  11. 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.
