Ingredients
200g of dried hokkein noodles
1.25l of chicken stock
2 tsp of freshly grated ginger
2 tbsp of light soy sauce
2 tbsp of shaoxing rice wine
1 tbsp of oyster sauce
200g of sliced chicken breast fillet
250g of pak choi, trimmed and roughly chopped
2 spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced, plus extra to serve
Salt, to taste
Garnishes (optional)
Fresh chillies, sliced
A small bunch of fresh coriander
Method
Step 1

Plunge the noodles into a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain, refresh under cold water and shake dry. Set aside.

Step 2

Pour the stock into a large saucepan with the ginger, soy sauce, rice wine and oyster sauce and set over a medium heat. Bring slowly to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the chicken, pak choi and spring onions and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked.

Step 4

Divide the noodles between bowls, pour over the chicken soup and serve with some sliced chillies and fresh coriander, if using.

COOK'S TIP: If you're using fresh Hokkein noodles, cook for 2 minutes instead of 3-4. If you're using vacuum-packed, pre-cooked noodles rinse under boiling water only before use. For either you will need 500g.
