Green Tea Poached Chicken & Avocado Soba Noodle Bowls

Instructions

Step 1
Cook the soba noodles as per the instructions on the pack and set aside.

Step 2
Add the chicken breasts to a medium pot along with the teabags, ginger and garlic. Add enough water to cover and bring to the boil.

Step 3
Reduce to a simmer and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through. Remove the chicken from the poaching liquid and leave to slightly cool before slicing.

Step 4
For the dressing, mix soy sauce, sesame oil and lime juice in a small bowl and set aside. 

Step 5
In a large bowl, toss together the cooked soba noodles, shredded carrot, edamame pods and dressing. Divide the salad into two serving bowls.  

Step 6
Top with the sliced chicken and avocado. Finish with fresh herbs, sliced red chilli and fried shallots.  

Tip:  

• Keep the poaching liquid to use as a broth and pour over your bowl to turn into a warming winter noodle soup. 

Variations:  

• Use salmon fillets instead of chicken breast if you prefer or for a vegan option use cubes of tofu.
