Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 x 150 grams (5.3 ounces) skinless chicken breasts
- 1 litre (33.8 fluid ounces) fresh chicken stock
Fresh Vegetables:
- 10 centimeters (4 inches) piece of ginger
- 160 grams (5.6 ounces) baby corn
- 1 x 320 grams (11.3 ounces) pack mixed stir-fry vegetables
Noodles and Seasonings:
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) wholewheat noodles
- 3 tablespoons rendang curry paste
- 1 x 400 grams (14.1 ounces) can light coconut milk
Instructions
- Position a large non-stick skillet and a deep pot over medium heat, preparing cooking surfaces for the upcoming culinary preparation.
- Transform chicken breasts into three elongated strips per piece. Massage the protein thoroughly with half the rendang paste, incorporating a delicate sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lightly coat the skillet with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil and carefully introduce the seasoned chicken.
- Meticulously slice fresh ginger into delicate matchstick-sized segments. Disperse half the ginger shreds across the sizzling chicken. Allow the protein to caramelize for approximately 5 minutes, rotating frequently to achieve a rich, almost charred exterior.
- Establish the soup foundation by combining remaining ginger and rendang paste in the deep pot. Pour in chicken stock and elevate to a rolling boil. Introduce creamy coconut milk, noodles, and halved baby corn. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld harmoniously.
- Integrate mixed stir-fry vegetables into the simmering liquid, cooking for an additional minute to maintain vegetable crispness. Adjust seasoning according to preference. Deglaze the chicken skillet with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) red wine vinegar, capturing the concentrated flavor remnants.
- Slice the caramelized chicken into bite-sized pieces and artfully arrange atop the aromatic soup when serving, creating a visually appealing and flavorful dish.
