Oriental-Style Chicken Leg Meat Noodles Recipe
Ingredients:
Chicken Leg Meat:
350g chicken leg meat, cut into small pieces
1 packet of Oriental (New Orleans) seasoning
Noodles:
100g soba noodles
Vegetables:
1 carrot, julienned
1 bunch of bean sprouts
2 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1 small purple cabbage, shredded
1 handful of spinach
Sauce:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
Garnish:
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken:
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Mix the chicken with the Oriental seasoning until evenly coated. If the seasoning is too dry, add a little rice wine. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
Cook the Noodles:
Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Prepare the Vegetables:
Julienne the carrot, and shred the purple cabbage. Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked through. Alternatively, you can pan-fry the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through.
Assemble the Dish:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, julienned carrot, bean sprouts, sliced mushrooms, shredded purple cabbage, and blanched spinach. Add the cooked chicken on top.
Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil (if using). Drizzle the sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss gently to combine.
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds (if using) over the top. Serve the Oriental-Style Chicken Leg Meat Noodles immediately.
Enjoy your meal!
