Ingredients
Method
- Heat sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add sliced chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until lightly browned.
- Pour in chicken stock, soy sauce, honey, and miso paste if using. Stir well.

- Divide noodles between serving bowls.

- Top each bowl with soft-boiled egg halves, spring onions, sesame seeds, and chili oil if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of breast for extra tenderness and flavour.
- Soft-boil eggs for 6–7 minutes for a jammy centre.
- Add bok choy, sweetcorn, or bean sprouts for extra texture and nutrition.
- For a richer broth, stir in a splash of coconut milk or a spoonful of peanut butter.
- Store broth separately from noodles when meal prepping to prevent sogginess.
