Chilled Udon and Chicken with Shichimi & Lime Flavour Pearls

A cold noodle dish is something a little different to enjoy while the weather is warm. Chilled Udon and Chicken with Shichimi & Lime Flavour Pearls is a delicious serving suggestion that could also be easily enjoyed warm if you prefer. The addition of our Limited Edition Shichimi & Lime Flavour Pearls adds a deliciously spicy element to the dish. Udon noodles are quickly blanched and refreshed and served with some chilled Miso broth and a few greens. We bought a roast chook and shredded the breast, mixing it with a little Sesame oil and dash of Soy. Super quick to prepare and a nice and healthy dish too.

What you’ll need

• Udon noodles – aprox 150g per person
• Roast Chicken – We will just be using the breasts today 
• Sesame Oil – dash
• Soy – dash +
• Instant Miso Soup – we chose one with Spinach and Mushrooms
• Mirin – dash
• Rice Vinegar – dash
• Ginger – micro-plane or grate
• Sugar – dash
• Snow Peas
• Spring Onions
• Black Sesame Seeds – or not!
• Shichimi & Lime Flavour Pearls

To do

Lets prepare the Miso soup first so that it has time to chill. Simply follow the directions on the packet (meaning just add boiling water!). To the Miso we are adding a few more flavours – a dash each of Mirin and Rice vinegar. A pinch of Sugar. A little Ginger – just grated or use a micro-plane if you have one. Check the flavour – feel free to add more of any of the ingredients if you feel it needs more. Pop into the fridge to chill. *you will need around 125ml per bowl*

Put a pot of salted water on the stove and bring it to the boil. Add the Snow Peas and remove them with a slotted spoon or spider as soon as they become bright green. Refresh them in ice cold water. Add the Udon Noodles to the boiling water and drain them as soon as the water comes back to the boil. Refresh them under cold water. Drain well then add a little dash of Sesame Oil to them (for flavour and to stop them sticking) and pop in the fridge to chill.

Next

Lets shred the Chicken nice and finely. I like to put on food gloves when I do this – less hand washing! You can pick it apart or use a fork to help shred it. Whatever works for you. Once shredded add a dash of Soy and Sesame Oil for extra flavour. Top and tail the blanched Snow Peas and slice them. Also slice or chop the Spring Onions

To serve

Simply evenly divide the Udon Noodles and Chicken between serving bowls. Add some Snow Peas, Spring Onion and around 125ml (half a cup) of the chilled Miso to each bowl. A sprinkle of Black Sesame if you have them and a good spoonful of Shichimi & Lime Flavour Pearls

*if you prefer your noodles hot just omit the refreshing and chilling steps and serve everything immediately – it will be delicious*
