- 45 g Edamame noodles
- 180 g Chicken breast
- 150 g Bean sprouts
- 1 tbsp Chinkiang black vinegar
- 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tsp Chinese sesame paste (optional)
- 2 tsp Light soy sauce (optional)
- 10 g Ginger (optional)
- 15 g Scallions (optional)
Method
- Sit the chicken breast in a small pan with the sliced ginger, cover it with cold water and bring it up until the surface only shivers. Fourteen minutes at that tremble, never a boil.
- Lift the breast out and let it stop steaming, then pull it apart along the grain into coarse threads.
- Loosen the sesame paste with the black vinegar, soy and sesame oil, adding cold water a spoonful at a time until it runs off the spoon in a ribbon. Slice the spring onions thin.
- Boil the edamame noodles four minutes, adding the bean sprouts for the last twenty seconds, then drain both together and rinse them cold.
- Turn the cold noodles and sprouts through the dressing, pile the shredded chicken on top and scatter the spring onion over.
