Today l went to see the King's speech with Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush it was great very funny and l loved the finger waves in the ladies hair also the amazing wall paper very bold very deco! Today l also tried the T2 chinese jasmine tea and made a fairly traditional version of chicken noodle soup and it was the best....I have been reading alot about japanese cuisine lately simple elegant food healthy and delicious so l am trying to include lots of asian style food in my kitchen and this one is a winner and very easy to make the recipe is in Stephanie Alexanders cook's companion except l substituted the egg noodles for buckwheat udon.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 litre of chicken/vegetable stock , 1 cup of shredded chicken ( l used free range chicken thigh), 4 shitake mushrooms, handful of snow pea's finely shredded, 1 slice of ham off the bone(sliced finely), 250g of noodles egg/udon your choice, low sodium soy sauce ( l used tamari).
Method: so easy pre soak your mushrooms in warm water for 20 min til soft then chop off stems and slice caps finely, heat veg oil (bout a table spoon) in large pot big enough to hold your soup throw in your mushrooms and cook for 1 min add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and stir for a further minute then add the litre of stock bring to the boil then add the noodles, the shredded chicken & leg ham cook til noodles are soft then add snow pea's and cook for about 1 minute before serving. This does not need extra salt you can season your chicken when cooking it l just grilled it! yum, yum enjoy!
