   Cooking Tips

  • As an alternative to noodles, try making this dish with 200g of thin pasta, such as angel hair.
  • It is important to cut the ingredients thinly so that they cook quickly. If you prefer chunkier meat and vegetables, add extra cooking time.
  • As an alternative to the instant noodle soup base, lightly fry some onions and vegetables to make a tasty broth.

Nutrition Advice

  • Chicken is a healthy meat which provides a significant amount of protein. To reduce the fat content by half, trim away the skin before cooking.
  • Instant noodle soup base can be high in sodium. Try adding half the package or replace it with other seasonings such as salt, pepper and herbs to minimise excessive sodium intake.
