Ingredients
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 spring onions, sliced diagonally, greens and whites kept separate
- 30g root ginger, finely chopped
- 1 small red chilli (deseeded), half finely chopped, half finely sliced for garnish
- a handful of coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves reserved for garnish
- 1 x 120g pack shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 sachets from a 90g pack Yutaka miso soup
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 cooked skinless chicken breasts, shredded
- 1 x 300g pack quick-to-cook udon noodles
- nigella or sesame seeds, optional
Step by step
- Bring a small pan of water to the boil. Heat the sesame oil in a large saucepan and fry the white part of the spring onions with the ginger, finely chopped chilli, coriander stalks and shiitake mushrooms for 3-4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, squeeze the miso soup 5 paste from the sachets into a large jug, pour over 700ml boiling water and stir well, to make the miso broth.
- Drop the eggs into the pan of boiling water and cook for 6½ minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
- Add the miso stock, chicken and noodles to the pan with the mushrooms. Bring to a simmer, stir to separate the noodles and cook gently for 3-4 minutes.
- Peel and slice the eggs in half. To serve, ladle the noodle broth into 2 bowls and top with the soft boiled egg halves, spring onion greens, sliced red chilli, coriander leaves and a sprinkling of nigella or sesame seeds if you like.
