Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh egg noodles
• 300 grams chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium sized shallots, finely chopped
• 1 inch piece ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (kecap manis)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 liter chicken broth
• 200 grams bok choy or Chinese broccoli
• 2 stalks spring onions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fried shallots
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and minced ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink and slightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and oyster sauce. Mix well and allow the chicken to absorb the flavors, cooking for an additional 3 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the broth is simmering, bring another pot of water to a boil. Blanch the bok choy or Chinese broccoli for 1-2 minutes until vibrant and tender. Remove and set aside.

Step 7

In the same pot of boiling water, cook the fresh egg noodles as per package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes. Drain and divide the noodles among serving bowls.

Step 8

Season the simmering chicken and broth with salt and white pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

To serve, top each bowl of noodles with a generous helping of the chicken and broth. Add the blanched greens on the side.

Step 10

Garnish each bowl with chopped spring onions and a sprinkle of fried shallots.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your Mie Ayam!
