Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg
Take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)
Now, let's get started!
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick, with a matching lid) over a medium-high heat
Once hot, add your chicken breast portion and cook for 3 min on each side or until golden
Add a couple of splashes of water to the pan and cover with a lid
Cook for a further 10-12 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, crumble your chestnut mushrooms roughly into the pan with your hands along with a grind of black pepper and cook for 6-7 min or until starting to brown
Meanwhile, slice your spring onion[s]
Grate your cheddar cheese
Wash your salad and pat dry with kitchen paper
Add half your ginger paste (you'll use the rest later!) to a large bowl with 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of sugar
Add the salad and give everything a gentle mix up – this is your ginger salad
Once the mushrooms are brown, reduce the heat to medium-high
Add a large knob of butter and your gochujang paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) to the pan with your soy sauce and the remaining ginger paste
Cook for 1 min or until the butter has melted
Once the butter has melted, add your udon noodles to the pan along with 50ml [65ml] [75ml] cold water and cook for 1-2 min or until the noodles are warmed through
Tip: Gently separate the noodles with a fork!
Once the noodles have warmed through, add half the grated cheese (save the rest for garnish!) and give everything a good mix up until the noodles are evenly coated – these are your cheesy gochujang udon noodles
Tip: Add a splash of water if it's looking a little dry
Top the cheesy gochujang udon noodles with the sliced spring onion and remaining grated cheese
Serve the ginger salad and the cooked chicken breast to the side
Enjoy!
