Thinly slice chicken. Meanwhile, cook noodles in a separate saucepan of boiling water, following packet instructions. Drain. To serve, divide noodles, broth and vegetables among 4 bowls. Top with chicken, eggs and shallots. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings.

Tips

  • Superfoods vegetable stir-fry mix is available from the fruit and vegetable section in major supermarkets. It consists of shredded cabbage, carrot, kale and broccoli. Replace it with any shredded vegetable stir-fry mix or make your own mix, if preferred.

  • Check labels on noodles and choose the brand lowest in sodium.

  • Cooking time may vary depending on thickness of chicken breast. Check chicken is cooked through before wrapping in foil to rest.

  • For soft boiled eggs, lower room temperature eggs into a saucepan of gently boiling water. Gently boil for 5 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold water, then peel.

  • Top with toasted sesame seeds, coriander sprigs and thinly sliced red chilli for added flavour. Use white or black sesame seeds or a combination of both.
