Gourmet Glow’s chicken, mushroom & sea buckthorn noodles
Here's is my iteration for the me that is approaching 40. Looks sophisticated but its roots are firmly planted in an 80s snack pot……
Method
Heat the chicken stock and pour over the dried Mushrooms. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to the instructions on the pack, drain and coat in a little sesame oil, divide between 4 bowls.
Add the rapeseed oil to a pan and fry the mushrooms, without turning until beginning to caramelise, flip and repeat on the other side. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding the rice wine, soy and sugar.
Drain the soaking mushrooms and pour the liquid over the cooked mushroom mix, scraping to deglaze the pan.
Chop the dried mushrooms roughly and add them too. Add the cooked chicken to heat through.
Remove the broth from the heat and add the sea buckthorn. Taste, it should be salty, aromatic with a sour tang.
Adjust the seasoning as liked and ladle over the noodles, dividing the solids equally, garnish with the eggs, seeds and nuts and extra sesame oil if liked.
