Ingredients

Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Start by searing the sliced chicken breast with 1 tbsp rapeseed oil over a high heat. I used a griddle pan but use a non-stick if you don’t have one. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes, depending on thickness. Cook 3 days worth of chicken & freeze the remaining portions for later.
  • To 3 meal prep containers, add the dry ingredients (ginger, noodles, beansprouts, half the spring onion & coriander). Store the garnishes separately.
  • When you’re about to eat, blend 1 de-seeded chilli, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tbsp miso paste and 500ml of water.
  • Add your container with the dry ingredients into a pan, along with half a stock cube and your chilli broth. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Cook the chicken first and ensure it's fully cooked and avoid raw/undercooked protein in the dish. Consider marinating the chicken for additional flavor.
  • Measure out the ingredients for the ramen recipe to ensure proper cooking times and avoid overcooking or burning.
  • If you prefer milder spiciness, remove the seeds and white membrane from the chillies before using them in the recipe.
  • Add the toppings of your choice: such as soft-boiled eggs, sliced red chilli, sesame seeds, sriracha hot chili sauce, sliced red onion, a drizzle of soy sauce, and fish cakes to complement the Asian fusion flavors.
