This soup doesn’t need any chicken in it as the broth has so much flavour but if you have some leftover, then all the better.

Ingredients

1 tbsp honey

3 tbsp dark soy

1 red chilli, sliced

1 litre chicken stock

80g leftover chicken (optional)

20g pickled pink ginger or normal ginger, peeled and finely sliced

½ chinese cabbage, shredded

300g pouch straight to wok thick noodles

4 spring onions, sliced

Method

Drizzle the honey over the base of a large saucepan and bubble briefly to a caramel, then splash in the soy, bubble, add half the chilli and the chicken stock and simmer for 5 mins.
Add the chicken, if using, and ginger, and simmer for another 5 mins. Stir in the cabbage and noodles and cook until just wilted and the noodles have heated through. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle over the remaining chilli and the spring onions.
