Went to Aldi to get toothpaste, ended up getting this instant Peking duck flavoured noodles soup. Have not had Peking duck for ages so, bought 10 carton bowls. Decided to add cooked chicken pieces: recipe written below, rocket leaves, and black fungus; bought two days ago to my noodles soup.
Google: “Chicken pieces such as breasts, thighs, wings, and legs. Chicken pieces are an excellent source of high-quality protein, crucial for building and repairing tissues, including muscles. Provides vitamins: niacin (B3), B6, B12, and thiamine (B1), for energy metabolism, brain function, and nervous system health. Contains minerals like phosphorus, selenium, zinc, and magnesium: support various bodily functions, including bone health, immunity, and nerve function.”
“Black fungus, also known as wood ear or Auricularia auricula, offers several health benefits and is often used in traditional medicine and Asian cuisine. It’s low in calories, fat-free, and rich in fiber, protein, iron, for preventing anemia. It also contains B vitamins, and beta-carotene. Contains antioxidants that can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals; linked to aging and various diseases. Can support gut health due to its prebiotic content; nourishes beneficial gut bacteria. While generally safe, it’s important to avoid foraging for black fungus due to the risk of misidentification and potential contamination. Black fungus from commercial sources is not associated with significant side effects.“
“Rocket is packed with folate, vitamin K, beta-carotene, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Vitamin K helps with calcium absorption for strong bones and teeth. It’s fiber and other compounds can stimulate digestion and help alleviate digestive discomfort. Contains antioxidants like kaempferol and nitrates; protect against cell damage and age-related decline. Rocket can be used raw in salads, cooked into dishes like pasta, or added to dips and sauces. People taking blood thinners should consult their doctor before consuming large quantities of rocket due to its vitamin K content. Eating too much rocket can lead to digestive issues like bloating or diarrhea.“
One thing when eating whatever food, eat in moderation. My convenient and healthy choice meal is comforting, colourful and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
Ingredients
1 Peking duck flavoured noodles soup carton bowl
3-4 black fungus
rocket leaves
chicken breast pieces
hot boiling water
1 Tbs oil
1 Tsp sesame oil
1 Tsp light soy sauce
Method
Put kettle on. Once boiled pour into a bowl and add black fungus to soaked for 30 minutes. Meantime, season chicken breasts pieces with salt, pepper and 1 Tsp light soy sauce for 15 minutes. After soaking black fungus time up, rinse the black fungus well to remove any dirt or debris. Cut off any woody stems if necessary. Cut to bite size and set aside.
Heat a saucepan on medium heat. Add 1 Tbs oil and 1 Tsp sesame seed oil (OPT). Add the chicken breast pieces to the saucepan, making sure they are not overcrowded: if you buy more than 1 chicken breast fillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, tossing around, depending on thickness, until the chicken is white in colour. I like to cook my chicken pieces for further 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Open the noodles carton bowl, empty the noodles and condiments into a bowl and place a plate at the bottom for easy to remove from microwave. Pour hot boiling water in. Add the cooked chicken breast pieces and black fungus.
Place into microwave, cook for 5-6 minutes. Halfway through, give a couple of stirs. Check that the black fungus and noodles have softened and cooked. Bring out carefully. Garnish with some rocket leaves in the center of the noodles. Enjoy with a cup of green tea or any tea: oolong, pu-erh, or English breakfast tea!!!
