Recipe by: Boitumelo ‘ChewMe’ Mogoai
Serves: 2
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time:  20 min
 
INGREDIENTS

2 chicken breasts (boneless, skin-on)*
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
2-3 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp miso paste, optional*
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp mirin/brown sugar
4 cups rich chicken/veg stock
1–2 tsp salt, to taste
2 tsp sesame oil
1/3 cup fresh coriander
1/2 cup spring onions, sliced
2 packs instant noodles, cooked
2 large eggs, soft boiled
black and white sesame seeds for garnish
optional:
fresh jalapeño or chili slices, for serving
 
METHOD

Pre heat oven to 190°C. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.

Melt some coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet/pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and releases easily from the pan, about 5-7 minutes.

Flip the chicken over and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until golden. Transfer the chicken to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from the oven, transfer the chicken to a plate, and cover with foil until ready to serve. Heat some more coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add the mushrooms and cook until nicely charred then remove and set aside until later. Add remaining coconut oil and once melted, add garlic and ginger and cook for a few minutes until softened.

Add the miso paste, soy sauce and mirin/brown sugar, and stir to combine. Cook for another minute or until fragrant.

Add the stock, cover, and bring to a boil. Remove the lid, and let simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Taste for flavour then season with salt, to taste.

Turn off heat then stir in the sesame oil, half of the coriander and half of the spring onion.

To plate, start by adding the noodles into the bowls followed by the broth.

Thinly slice the chicken then add into the bowl followed by the mushrooms, eggs and remaining coriander and spring onion.

Garnish with black and white sesame seeds and chilis if using. Enjoy!
