Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 tablespoons 60ml high-quality chicken base, such as Better Than Bouillon
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 12 ounces 340g shredded chicken meat from 1 rotisserie chicken
  • 4 small nests rice noodles or precooked ramen or Italian pasta see note
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup minced fresh dill leaves

Equipment

  • 4 Serving Bowls Suitable for hot liquids and steeping.
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Chef's Knife

  • 1 Kettle or Pot For boiling water rapidly.

Method
 

  1. Divide the high-quality chicken base evenly among four individual serving bowls.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onion, frozen peas, and shredded rotisserie chicken meat to each bowl.

  4. Bring a sufficient amount of water to a rolling boil using a kettle or a pot.
  5. Carefully pour the boiling water over the ingredients in each bowl, ensuring the noodles are fully submerged.
  6. Cover the bowls immediately and let the ingredients steep for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender and all components are heated through. Adjust steeping time based on your noodle choice.
  7. Uncover the bowls and stir in the minced fresh dill leaves.
  8. Season each bowl generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  9. Gently stir all ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors and heat.
  10. Serve the homemade instant noodles immediately and enjoy hot.

Notes

For optimal flavor, invest in a high-quality chicken base, as it forms the backbone of the broth. Using a rotisserie chicken streamlines prep, but ensure the shredded meat is tender. To prevent soggy noodles, consider pre-cooking them slightly less than al dente if using Italian pasta, or ensure they are fully submerged and cooked through if steeping in the bowl. Fresh dill is non-negotiable for its vibrant aroma and taste; incorporate it just before serving to maintain its freshness. Don't hesitate to adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and a squeeze of lemon or a dash of white pepper could elevate the brightness. Ensure your boiling water is sufficiently hot to cook the raw onion and peas while steeping.
