Ingredients
2
small skinless chicken breasts, see GH tip
250g
dried ramen noodles
3
spring onions, finely sliced
2
medium carrots, peeled and shredded, or grated
1/2
cucumber, cut into matchsticks
75g
sugar snaps, shredded lengthways
8
-10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2Tbsp.
pickled ginger
FOR THE DRESSING
5Tbsp.
smooth peanut butter
1Tbsp.
English mustard
2Tbsp.
rice vinegar
1Tbsp.
soy sauce
Directions
Step 1Bring a medium pan of salted water to the boil, add the chicken, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15min, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken to a plate to cool (reserve water), then roughly shred.
Step 2While the chicken is cooling, in the same pan cook the noodles according to pack instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Drain again, then tip into a large bowl.
Step 3Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together, then whisk in 3-4tbsp cold water to give a smooth, pourable dressing. Add to the noodles along with the whites of the spring onions and toss to coat.
Step 4To serve, arrange the noodles on a serving platter or divide between individual plates or bowls. Top with the chicken, then the vegetables and finish with the pickled ginger and reserved spring onion greens.
You could use precooked chicken (or leftovers from a roast), if you prefer– you need about 250g cooked weight.
