Essential Ingredients
- Buckwheat noodles 100g
- 1/2 – 1 piece cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
- Water 500ml
- Dashi stock (katsuobushi or kombu based) 25-30ml (use 25-30ml for a lighter taste, 35-40ml for a richer, saltier taste)
- Chopped green onion, moderate amount (approx. 1.5 Tbsp)
- Pepper, to taste (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by making the warm soup base. In a pot, combine 500ml of water and 25-30ml of dashi stock. Bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. The amount of dashi stock can be adjusted to your preference; use 25-30ml for a milder flavor or 35-40ml for a richer, saltier broth.
Step 2
Now, it’s time to cook the buckwheat noodles. Once the soup is boiling, add 100g of buckwheat noodles. Cook them for approximately 4 minutes and 30 seconds to 4 minutes and 40 seconds, which is slightly less than the package instructions. Be careful not to overcook the noodles, as they can lose their chewy texture.
Step 3
Immediately after cooking, rinse the buckwheat noodles under cold running water 2-3 times. This step removes excess starch, resulting in a chewier and more pleasant texture. After rinsing, drain them thoroughly in a colander.
Step 4
Arrange the drained buckwheat noodles attractively in a serving bowl. Carefully ladle the warm soup over the noodles, ensuring they are well submerged.
Step 5
Finally, let’s add the toppings to make the dish more appealing. Place the shredded or sliced cooked chicken breast (1/2 to 1 piece) on top, and generously sprinkle with the fresh chopped green onions. Add a pinch of pepper to taste for an extra flavor boost.
Step 6
And there you have it – your delicious and comforting Chicken Breast Buckwheat Noodles are ready! Enjoy this hearty and satisfying meal that will warm you up on a chilly day.
