Wholewheat noodles with miso & honey-glazed chicken

Step by Step

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Combine half the miso with the honey, mustard and 2 tsp water in a small bowl. Place the chicken thighs between two sheets of baking parchment and bash lightly with a rolling pin to flatten.

Step 2

Lift off the top sheet of parchment, brush both sides of the chicken with the miso glaze and slide the chicken and base parchment onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until the glaze is turning deep golden and the chicken is thoroughly cooked with no pink meat and its juices run clear.

Step 3

Blend the remaining miso with 2 tbsp hot water in a small bowl. Roll up the spring green leaves and shred as finely as possible. Cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until just softened.

Step 4

Bring the chicken stock to the boil in a separate pan. Add the shredded greens and peas to the stock, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Drain the noodles and add to the vegetables with the miso liquid and rice vinegar. Heat through briefly. Transfer to shallow bowls and serve topped with the sliced chicken.
