This soup of Jamie Oliver is fantastic. I cannot recommend more his book "The Ministry of Food" in which he teaches people to cook from scratch. So good. If you only have one cooking book, have this one. If you master that book, you are a great cook already.
Back to the recipe. Simple. The key ingredient to have is "5 chinese spice", very popular and not hard to find.
INGREDIENTS:
Broth:
-2 litres of chicken stock.
-A piece of ginger.
-Serrano peppers for spiciness (optional).
-2 tablespoons of soy sauce.
-1 lime.
-sesame seeds and some toasted nuts (optional)
---------
-500 grams of chicken.
-300 grams of noodles.
-2 bock choy or a handful of mangetouts.
STEPS:
1. Cut chicken in stripes and coat them well with 5 chinese spice, like in the photo. Now sautee them in medium fire until golden (be careful to not burn the spices, have medium fire). Once ready set it apart.
2. Cook which ever noodles you want separately. You can add them too in the broth and cook them there, but I like to do it separately because the broth them is more clear.
3. Get the broth going separately. Put the chicken stock, 2 litres of water, and the ginger together, bring it to a boil.
4. Once it boils, add the green beans for 2 minutes.
5. After 2 minutes in which the green beans have softened but are still very crunchy, add noodles and chicken, bring it to boil again and immediately turn off fire.
6. Now finally add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir.
7. The finally touch is: squeeze in each bowl the lime, half lime for each bowl and sprinkle sesame seeds. The sesame seeds are optional but the lime is not optional, it makes it 5 times better.
Voila. C'est magnifique.
