CHILLI Chicken RAMEN

THE RECIPE

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish. I have always enjoyed this dish, but most especially when I spent time in Tokyo, I ate it nearly every day. This recipe is based mostly on ingredients I have growing in my garden. I made courgette noodles with a spiralizer in place of the more usual egg noodles. This is a delicious, fresh and filling main course and is really refreshing even during summer.


INGREDIENTS:

2 Red (Green) chilli's, finely chopped, cut some into slices to use as a garnish
1 Garlic clove, minced
2cm Piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
2 Chicken breasts
600ml Chicken stock
2 tbsp Fish sauce
300g fine thread noodles (or Courgette noodles)
Bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
1 Head of Pak choi, shredded (or Oriental salad mix)
1 Red onion, halved and thinly sliced (or Spring onion, chopped)
1 Lime, quartered (optional garnish)
Water, boiling
Salt
