  • boiling salted water

  • 2-3 oz. cooked white chicken meat

  • 1 1/2 oz. canned bamboo shoots

  • 1 dessertspoon shredded 'hot' Chinese cabbage

Method:

  1. Drop the noodles into very slightly salted boiling water and leave to cook for 6-8 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the chicken and bamboo shoots into strips. Place them ready with the Chinese cabbage.

  2. Bring the stock to the boil. Drain the noodles, rinse them and drain them again. Add them to the stock, together with the chicken, bamboo shoots and cabbage.
