A common Malaysian thick noodle soup, simplified with ready chicken stock.

Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 400 g yellow noodles
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 200 g cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 tbsp fried shallots

Let’s make it

  1. Bring stock, garlic, soy sauces, and chicken to a simmer.
  2. Mix cornstarch with water and stir into the soup until slightly thickened.
  3. Add noodles and bean sprouts and cook 2 minutes.
  4. Drizzle in beaten egg while stirring to form ribbons; cook until set.
  5. Serve topped with fried shallots.

Make the soup a little thinner for younger children so the noodles are easier to slurp.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
