Level: Easy

Time: 15 mins (prep and cook)

Yield: 1 big bowl

Ingredients

  • 500ml Chicken or Vegetable Stock
  • 1 red chilli, finely sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
  • 1 inch ginger, julienned (finely sliced batons)
  • 1 carrot, jilienned (finely sliced batons)
  • 1 corn cobette / half cob (or tinned sweetcorn)
  • 1 Handful of spinach, cabbage or other leafy greens
  • 1 heaped tsp miso paste
  • Soy Sauce
  • Lemon
  • 1 portion dried noodles
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Notes & Tips

  • We used Tesco’s own Miso Paste, it can be found in the spice aisle.
  • Bulk up the protein by adding a some roast or fried chicken or pork.
  • Make it vegan by using vegan vegetable stock and noodles.
  • If using fresh corn cobette, microwave it for 5 minutes during the first simmer then slice off the corn kernels.

Method

  1. Pour the stock into a saucepan on medium-high heat, bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer. Add the chilli, garlic and ginger, simmer for five minutes.
  2. Add the carrot, corn and leaves, simmer for a further five minutes. Place the noodles in a separate pot or bowl and cover with boiling water, leave for five minutes as well.
  3. After five minutes stir in the miso, a drizzle of soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice (about 1/4 lemon).
  4. Drain the noodles and place in a bowl, top with the soup and scatter over sesame seeds. Enjoy 🙂
