Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh egg noodles
- 300 grams chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium sized shallots, finely chopped
- 1 inch piece ginger, minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 liter chicken broth
- 200 grams bok choy or Chinese broccoli
- 2 stalks spring onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fried shallots
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and minced ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink and slightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and oyster sauce. Mix well and allow the chicken to absorb the flavors, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes.
While the broth is simmering, bring another pot of water to a boil. Blanch the bok choy or Chinese broccoli for 1-2 minutes until vibrant and tender. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot of boiling water, cook the fresh egg noodles as per package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes. Drain and divide the noodles among serving bowls.
Season the simmering chicken and broth with salt and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
To serve, top each bowl of noodles with a generous helping of the chicken and broth. Add the blanched greens on the side.
Garnish each bowl with chopped spring onions and a sprinkle of fried shallots.
Serve hot and enjoy your Mie Ayam!
