• Boil the kettle. • Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop Asian greens. Drain the sweetcorn. Cut chicken thigh 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.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. Cook chicken in batches, tossing, until golden and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate. TIP: Chicken is cooked through when It's no longer pink inside.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sweetcorn until just tender, 4-5 minutes. Add Asian greens and cook until wilted, 1 minute. • Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• While the veggies are cooking, heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook ginger paste, garlic and remaining sweet soy seasoning until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water, char siu paste, chicken-style stock powder, the soy sauce and sesame oil and bring to the boil.
• Add udon noodles to the broth and cook over medium-high heat until tender, 3-4 minutes. • In the last minute of cook time, gently stir noodles with a fork to separate. • Stir through cooked veggies.
• Divide char siu udon noodle broth and veggies between bowls. • Top with sweet soy chicken. • Sprinkle over crispy shallots to serve. Enjoy!
