Ingredients
Scale
- 2 x 150 g/5.3 oz skinless chicken breasts
- 1 L/33.8 fl oz fresh chicken stock
- 200 g/7.1 oz wholewheat noodles
- 1 x 400 g/14.1 oz can light coconut milk
- 1 x 320 g/11.3 oz pack mixed stir-fry vegetables
- 160 g/5.6 oz baby corn
- 10 cm/4 in piece of ginger
- 3 tbsps rendang curry paste
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite medium heat beneath a non-stick skillet and deep pot, positioning cooking surfaces for culinary execution.
- Chicken Seasoning: Transform chicken breasts into elongated strips, massaging thoroughly with rendang paste, salt, and black pepper. Coat skillet with olive oil and sear chicken, introducing ginger matchsticks during caramelization process.
- Soup Foundation: Combine remaining ginger and rendang paste in deep pot, pour chicken stock, and escalate to robust boil. Incorporate coconut milk, noodles, and baby corn, simmering covered to harmonize flavors.
- Vegetable Integration: Fold stir-fry vegetables into simmering liquid, maintaining crisp texture. Deglaze chicken skillet with red wine vinegar to capture concentrated flavor essence.
- Plating: Slice caramelized chicken into delectable bite-sized segments and strategically arrange atop aromatic soup, creating a visually compelling and flavor-rich culinary presentation.
Notes
- Ginger Infusion Technique: Slice ginger into thin matchsticks to maximize flavor distribution and create delicate, aromatic layers throughout the soup.
- Chicken Caramelization Tip: Ensure high heat and frequent turning to develop a rich, almost charred exterior that adds depth and complexity to the protein.
- Flavor Layering Strategy: Deglaze the chicken skillet with red wine vinegar to capture concentrated flavor remnants, preventing any delicious bits from going to waste.
- Vegetable Crispness Secret: Add stir-fry vegetables in the final minute of cooking to maintain their vibrant color, texture, and nutritional integrity.
