Ingredients

1 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp sweet soy
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp white miso
1 tbsp grapeseed oil
1 small brown onion,diced
1 garlic clove,crushed
350g chicken mince
1 cup chicken stock
270g packet of ramen or soba noodles

To serve

4 soft-boiled eggs,halved
1-2 tbsp crunchy chilli oil per serve (or to taste;optional)
2 tbsp coriander leaves,chopped
1 tbsp spring onion,sliced

Method

Step1
Combine the mirin,soy,sweet soy,peanut butter and miso in a bowl and stir with a fork until the peanut butter is fully incorporated into the liquid. Set aside.
Step2
Place a frypan over low-medium heat. Add the oil,and once shimmering and hot,add the onion and sweat until soft and translucent,about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or until fragrant.
Step3
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken mince. Stir-fry until the mince has cooked through,about 5 minutes. Add the peanut sauce and cook,stirring to coat. Turn to a low simmer and add the stock.
Step4
While the chicken is simmering,bring a pot of water to the boil. Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Strain and divide among 4 bowls. Spoon over the chicken mixture and any residual juices. Scatter with coriander and spring onion and top each bowl with a halved jammy egg and crunchy chilli oil,if using.
