Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • Finely chop garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a medium bowl, combine the plain flour, half the sweet soy seasoning and a pinch of salt. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken in batches, tossing, until golden and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add char siu paste (see ingredients) and a splash of water and gently toss chicken to coat. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. Cook udon noodles over medium-high heat until tender, 3-4 minutes. • In last minute of cook time, gently stir noodles with a fork to separate. Drain, rinse and set aside in the strainer.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot until just tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add sweetcorn, soy sauce (for the veggies) and half the garlic and cook until softened, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return the saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook ginger paste, the remaining garlic and remaining sweet soy seasoning until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water, chicken-style stock powder, soy sauce (for the noodles) and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season to taste. • Add udon noodles to the broth and stir to combine.
• Divide udon noodle broth between bowls. • Top with garlic veggies and char siu chicken. • Spoon over any remaining char siu sauce over chicken. • Garnish with crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
