recipe: CHICKEN & SOBA NOODLE SALAD

I discovered this recipe recently on a magazine and became an instant fan. I want to have it all the time.

For 2:
2x 270g soba noodles, green beans & or asparagus trimmed and sliced, 4cm piece of ginger, 2 chicken thigh pieces or 1 large chicken breast, 6 spring onions, 1 garlic clove crushed, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 1/2 tbs rice vinegar, 1 1/2 tbs mirin, 2 tbs sesame oil

1. Place water the chicken in a sauce pan, cover with water, add the ginger and 4 spring onions sliced. Poach the chicken and when its done shredded with 2 forks.
2. Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Rinse and coat with the sesame oil.
3. Meanwhile boil or steam the greens.
4. Mix the garlic, soy sauce, vinegar and mirin in a bowl and let the flavours sink in (I did it the day before)
5. Add the shredded chicken and the green beans to the noodles, mix everything and season with the sauce.

Its great by itself on warmer days and a really healthy choice.

















p.s. I saved the liquid used to poach the chicken and used it as stock in other dishes later
