Japanese Chicken Itame Soup

Ingredients for Japanese soup:

Chicken breast - 2 (cut into strips)

Green curry paste - 2 tsp.

Oil - as needed

Coconut milk - 1 can

Chicken broth powder - 2 tbsp.

Lemongrass - 1 stalk

Ginger garlic paste - to taste

Red chili - 1/2 (chopped)

Scallion - 3 (chopped)

Coriander - a handful (chopped)

Bean sprouts - 1/2 pack

Shiitake mushrooms - 4 (or any other small mushroom)

Chinese cabbage - 2 (chopped)

Bell pepper - 1 (cut into strips)

Bamboo shoots - 1 can

Rice noodles - 1 pack (or any other noodle you'd like)

Method of preparing the Japanese soup:

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Arrange chicken strips in an ovenproof pan, cover with water, lid, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
In a deep, large saucepan fry the green curry paste in some oil. Add the coconut milk but don't throw the can- fill it with boiling water and 1 tbsp chicken broth powder.
Dissolve the remaining tbsp broth powder in the same amount water, and add to the saucepan. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes,
Then add the lemongrass, ginger garlic paste, red chili, scallions and coriander. Let simmer for another 10 minutes.
In another pan, stir fry bean sprouts, mushroom, cabbage and bell pepper in a dash of oil. Stir for 3-4 minutes and add to the soup. Add the bamboo shoots.
Drain the chicken and add the strips to the soup. Stir fry the noodles for no more than 5 minutes.
To serve, place the noodles in the bowl first, then the noodles and finally cover with soup. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip:

If you don't have ginger garlic paste, any form of substitute is fine- be it fresh or powder.
