Chilli chicken ramen ..... Mood = Bowl food

I am sure most of you have been to Wagamama, and for sure you have tried the chilli chicken ramen. Well for me when i am trying to detox or just feel like i am eating healthy, this is where i used to go. Until i figured how to make it better than the original.

I was at home a couple of years ago and my fridge was filled with lots of goodness and i was craving this soup. And i had all the ingrediants which helped. This soup is fresh, hearty, filling, has many raw vegetables and tastes absolutely great and best of all it only takes about 10-15 minutes to make from start to finish.

My friend nour came over for a day of cooking and food and we were starving talking about food and looking at pictures of food, that our stomachs started rumbling. So i check in the firdge and decided this was going to be the dish for lunch.

Chicken soup is good for your soul, good for your mood, and good for you. So a different twist is always good.

Recipe:

2x Chicken breasts
1 bag of bean sprouts
1 bunch or fresh coriander
1 bunch of fresh mint
1 red onion
Chicken stock
1 packet of glass noodles
soya sauce
Red chilli jam
1 red chilli
1 Lime

Method:

• Marinate the chicken breasts with some soya sauce, red chilli jam and lime juice

• Heat your chicken stock and pour over the glass noodles. They only need to be heated with hot water. Not boiled.

• Slice the red onions into rings

• Cut your herbs and set aside

• Cut and deseed your red chilli.

• Place the chicken in a medium to hot pan and let it cook for about 10 minutes. I usually slice cuts into the chicken to help the cooking process and it also looks nice.

• Turn the chicken over and pour the remaining marinade over the cooking chicken and let it coat all over. Add some water to pan to make sure it doesnt burn as the chilli jam has sugar in it. Also while you are doing this it will halep create a nice sauce to pour on top.

• Put all the vegetables, mint, coriander, and noodles in a bowl, adding the chicken stock, slice the chicken breast at an angle and place on top and drizzle some left over sauce from the pan and serve.

This dish was literally eaten by us in about 5 minutes flat. The ooohhs and the ahhhhs were constant and it was such a nice feeling when it was done, even though we both said the same thing while eating .... "I dont want this to end..."

You will be licking your bowl clean and so will your guests!!!!
