Ingredients

  • 1 large roasted chicken
  • 2 litres/3½ pints of water
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 leeks
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 black pepper
  • 1 chicken stock
  • 150g/5½oz egg or rice noodles
  • 100g/3½oz bok choi
  • 3-4 spring onions
  • 50g/1¾oz canned sweetcorn
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • small bunch coriander

Instructions

  • Remove the remaining meat from the chicken carcass and place it in the fridge.
  • Heat 2 litres/3½ pints of water up to a simmer in a large, deep saucepan.
  • Place the roasted chicken carcass, along with any remaining cooking juices, into the hot water and add the carrots, whole leeks, onion, bay leaf, peppercorns and stock cube.
  • Bring the stock up to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for an hour. Skim the stock from time to time to remove any scum that forms on the top.
  • After cooking the stock for an hour, place a colander over a large pan. Pick out the chicken carcass from the stock and place it into the colander. Carefully pour the rest of the stock through the colander into the pan.
  • Return the strained stock to the heat, and bring back up to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, tear the reserved roast chicken into small pieces.
  • Add the noodles to the chicken stock and cook for a minute before adding the chicken, bok choi, spring onion, sweetcorn and soy sauce to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then stir through the chopped coriander.
  • Divide between four bowls and serve immediately.
