Ingredients

1/2tsp olive oil

250g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, grated

2.5cm piece ginger, grated

1.25 litres low salt vegetable stock

3tbsp low-salt soy sauce

200g pak choi, halved lengthways

300g ramen noodles

400g leftover turkey meat, shredded

4 eggs

1 bunch of spring onions, finely chopped

2tbsp sesame and/or black onion seeds

Chilli oil, to serve

Method

1
Put the oil into a saucepan over a medium-high heat and add the mushrooms and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Cook for 5 mins until the mushrooms have softened. Add in the garlic and ginger and fry for another 30 secs until fragrant.
2
Pour in the vegetable stock and soy and bring to the boil. Add the pak choi cover and simmer for 5 mins. Add in the ramen and turkey and cook for a final 2-3 mins until the ramen has softened and the turkey has heated through.
3
Meanwhile put a large pan of boiling water over a medium heat, once simmering add in the eggs and simmer for 7 mins. Once cooked remove the eggs and put in a bowl of cold water to stop them from cooking. Remove the shells and slice each egg in half.
4
When you're ready to serve, divide the ramen stock, turkey and veggies between bowls. Top with the soft-boiled egg halves, spring onion, seeds and a drizzle of chilli oil if you like.

Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Great to be eaten up the next day, as the noodles will absorb quite a bit of liquid, heat up in a saucepan and add a splash more vegetable stock to make the broth.
