Slice & soften the veg

  • Dice the carrots into ½cm-thick cubes, and thinly slice the mushrooms. Deseed the peppers (or trim the pak choi) and cut into bite-size pieces. Chop 2 spring onions into 2cm pieces, then thinly slice the other and set aside (chop 4 for 4 portions, then thinly slice 2). Peel and crush the garlic, and grate the ginger.
  • Spritz a large non-stick saucepan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Tip in the carrots, mushrooms and roughly chopped spring onions and cook for 5-6 mins.
  • Add the green pepper (or pak choi), garlic, ginger and tamari and cook for 2 mins.

Start your broth

  • Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Pour 1 litre boiled water (2 litres for 4 portions) into a large saucepan, bring back to the boil, add the stock powder and stir well.
  • Cook the noodles in the boiling stock for 4-5 mins, then drain the liquid into the veg pan. Rinse the noodles and set aside.
  • Return the veg pan to the heat and simmer for 5 mins.

Sear the chicken

  • At the same time, spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Tip in the chicken and fry, without stirring, for 2-3 mins, then turn and repeat until browned all over.

Add some oomph!

  • Stir the miso, chipotle (to taste) and a generous splash of water into the chicken pan. Cook for 1 min, then tip the chicken and any juices into the broth and simmer for 3-4 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Chop half the coriander, then stir it into the broth.

Finish & serve

  • Spoon the noodles, broth, veg and chicken into bowls, then top with the sliced spring onions and the coriander leaves.
