Better For You Than Instant Noodles Chicken Bee Hoon Soup
We've never had a single cup or pack of instant noodles in our home for a year, and we don't plan to have any in the future either
Wes & I truly cleaned up our diet in the past year and we've never felt better or fitter than ever. As we're approaching our 30s, I highly believe our daily nutrition is one of the things that set people apart as we age.
If you're looking for a one pot, super easy & nutritious recipe that you can put together after a long work day, this is it
Prep time: 0 minutes
Cook time: 5 minutes active cooking, total 30 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
• 400g chicken breast (or chicken thighs)
• 2 beehoon servings (or any noodle you like)
• Your choice of veg (I used bokchoy)
• 1-2 tbsp ikan bilis stock powder
• 1 tbsp crab & anchovy sauce (or soy/fish sauce)
• Serve with fresh cut chilli padi & fried shallots
Method
• Boil a pot of water, do not fill till its too full but enough to submerge the chicken breasts
• Once the water is boiling, add chicken breasts and let it come to boiling temperature before lowering the heat to medium-low. Make sure the chicken breasts are fully covered with water
• Set timer for 25-30 minutes. I like leaving my pot uncovered so I don't have to worry about water overflowing
• Cut & wash vegetables and prep other ingredients (such as making your fried shallots if necessary) while waiting
• After 30 minutes, set aside chicken breasts to cool on a plate
• Rinse the pot and start boiling fresh water in the pot again. I add about 1.2 - 1.5 litres of water, depending on the size of the pot. The reason we don’t cook the soup at the same time as chicken breasts is because a lot of impurities will be released as the chicken cooks, following these steps helps to maintain a clear soup!
• Add ikan bilis powder and crab & anchovy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
• Boil beehoon and set aside in their serving bowls. Be careful not to overcook them as you'll still be adding hot soup to it later
• Boil vegetables and start assembling the bowl
• Once chicken breasts have cooled sufficiently, shred them with your hands or 2 forks. Add them to the bowls.
• Finish with adding hot soup and garnish with fresh cut chillies & fried shallots. Enjoy!~
This is most definitely a joke, but everytime I finish my bowl of beehoon soup, I'll say this would be my last meal of choice on death row😂
