Fresh Noodles with Chicken (2-ways)

I know using chicken breast for a meal may not taste as good because the meat can get dry after boiling it in water for a certain period of time, but did you know if you cut half it’s cooking time, you’ll end up with moist meat? The trick is to not over cook the chicken on high heat. When the water is still hot, turn off the heat and keep the lid on. Let it rest in the hot water as the hot water will continue to cook/steam within the pot as long as the lid is sealed.

Why is it called two ways? Not only are we using the chicken breast for the broth, but we are also using it as protein to add onto the noodles!

What you will need:

  • fresh noodles
  • chicken breast
  • green onions
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • water
  • soy sauce
  • mushroom bouillon
  • oil
  • bean sprouts (optional)

If unable to find fresh noodles, you can also use dry noodles. I find fresh noodles absorbs the flavor of the broth more when it comes to noodle soup. You can find the fresh noodles by the cold section at the Asian Grocery store or sometimes by the freezer.

Fresh Noodles

Tip: When using fresh noodles, rinse the noodles under warm water before blanching it. This will help remove the extra starch and help it cook better in the water.
