Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp dark soy
  • 1 red chilli, sliced
  • 1l chicken stock (ideally from our pot-roast recipe)
  • 80g leftover roast chicken (optional)
  • 20g pickled pink ginger or normal ginger, peeled and finely sliced
  • ½ Chinese cabbage, shredded
  • 300g pouch straight-to-wok thick noodles
  • 4 spring onions, sliced

Method

  1. Drizzle the honey over the base of a large saucepan and bubble briefly to a caramel, then splash in the soy, bubble, add half the chilli and the chicken stock and simmer for 5 mins.

  2. Add the chicken, if using, and ginger, and simmer for another 5 mins. Stir in the cabbage and noodles and cook until just wilted and the noodles have heated through. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle over the remaining chilli and the spring onions.
