Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There is something so comforting about a bowl of noodles in a clear broth and when you are using a slow-reared chicken it makes a fantastic flavoured broth for the base of this dish.
For the broth
The carcass and wings from a slow-reared chicken
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1 onion, peeled and quartered
10 black peppercorns
A small piece of root ginger, scraped and roughly chopped
200g udon noodles, cooked
40g bean sprouts
60g garlic chives, chopped
4 spring onions, cleaned and sliced
2tbsp roughly chopped coriander leaves
To make the broth, put the chicken carcass and wings in a large saucepan with the rest of the broth ingredients. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 1 hour. Remove the chicken carcass and wings and transfer them to a plate to cool. Strain the stock through a fine-meshed sieve into a clean pan.
Simmer the stock until it is reduced by about one-third and you are happy with the flavour. Meanwhile, remove as much meat from the carcass as you can and put to one side.
Add the noodles, bean sprouts, garlic chives, spring onions, coriander and chicken to the broth and simmer for a minute.
Serve in individual bowls or one large one.
