Main Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cm cube ginger, finely chopped
- 1 tsp sesame oil (olive or vegetable oil also fine)
- Approx 150 g leftover roast chicken, shredded into bite-sized pieces
- 1 litre stock (one gluten free chicken stock cube plus one vegetable stock cube, e.g., Knorr)
- 125 g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
- 4 spring onions, sliced into rounds
- 1 small tin sweetcorn (approx 190 g)
- 150 g precooked flat rice noodles
- 3 tsp gluten free tamari soy sauce
- Optional: 1 red chilli, finely sliced
Instructions
- Heat aromatics: Take a large saucepan and pour a very small drizzle of oil in the center of the pan and set over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook gently for 1–2 minutes until they start to sizzle.
- Add chicken: Stir in the shredded roast chicken with the garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes to warm through and combine flavors.
- Add stock and simmer: Pour in the stock, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release all the flavorful bits. Allow the soup to simmer gently over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add vegetables and soy sauce: Add the sliced mushrooms, spring onions, sweetcorn, and tamari soy sauce. Increase heat to medium-low and cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften.
- Add noodles and finish cooking: Stir in the precooked flat rice noodles and cook for an additional 10 minutes until noodles are heated through and flavors meld.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into large bowls and garnish with finely sliced red chilli if using for a touch of heat.
Notes
- You can substitute leftover roast chicken with cooked chicken breast or thighs.
- If you don’t have sesame oil, olive or vegetable oil works well.
- Use gluten-free tamari to keep the soup gluten-free; regular soy sauce contains gluten.
- Precooked flat rice noodles can be freshly cooked according to package instructions if preferred before adding to soup.
- Adjust chili quantity or omit for milder flavor.
