Clare College’s recipe for Asian noodle soup using leftover turkey
Ingredients
- 200g dried noodle of your choice
- 800ml chicken/turkey stock (bought in stock cube is fine)
- Vegetables of choice – carrots, baby corn, spring onion, pak choi
- Aromatics – ginger, garlic, lime leaf, star anise, five spice, chilli
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Leftover turkey, shredded
Method
- Start the soup broth by heating the stock, add the aromatics and taste.
- Start to season with the soy sauce and honey to your liking (I like to have a balance of salty and sour and then finish with some fresh lime to add some sourness)
- Once the broth is to your liking add the noodles and simmer until cooked then add the shredded meat and the vegetables (make sure they are thinly cut and roughly the same size) then turn off the heat.
- The vegetables should still be crunchy.
- Finish with fresh coriander and lime
