spiced chicken noodle soup

One from the archive tonight, and it's one I've been gagging to try again for aaaages. I used to make it fairly regularly back in the Lacy Road days, and it's the perfect way to use up a third of a roast chicken carcass.

I'll dig out the recipe if you want, but basically you re-poach the carcass to create some stock, before shredding the remaining meat and re-simmering it all with some star anise, spring onions, chilli, ginger, carrots and noodles, tszuj up with some soya sauce and fish sauce. Pour over a bowl pre-filled with some baby spinach leaves et voila - the perfect accompaniment to Glee!
