Chicken Noodles with Kimchi ( Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
DAIRY FREE II GLUTEN FREE II NUT FREE II EGG FREE II FISH FREE II SHELLFISH FREE
Spicy chicken noodles made with ginger, garlic, coriander, chicken topped with kimchi using beetroot noodles. I love trying new products. These noodles are egg-free, and they can be found in most superstores here in the UK.
I thought they looked so pretty and great for those who have egg allergies. I used my homemade kimchi recipe, which is quick to prepare and put together.
This recipe has such an explosive flavour profile, so I hope your taste buds will be singing and dancing after eating this! Enjoy the party in your mouth!
Notes on ingredients
Chicken
If following a soy free diet check that the chicken has not been fed soy, as you consume what the chickens eat. So if you have an allergy please check with the supermarket/brand/butchers first. You could also swap the chicken for any type of meat, prawns or even organic tofu. ( organic tofu ensures it's not GM as most soy is these days.)
Kimchi
If you haven't heard of kimchi, where have you been??? It's a Korean fermented spicy cabbage that's so delicious. It's a great natural probiotic which means it's excellent for your gut and helps with digestion. It also adds a really lovely tangy and spicy flavour to this dish. Feel free to buy your kimchi or use my quick, easy recipe here.
Soy sauce
Use dark soy sauce, not light, as the lighter variety is really salty. If you are gluten intolerant, use tamari instead of regular soy.
Noodles
The noodles I used are vegan. If you are gluten intolerant, use rice noodles instead, or use a spiraliser to make 'noodles' from fresh beetroot instead.
Kimchi
I have a recipe for my own kimchi that can be made without fish sauce. If you prefer to buy kimchi instead, please read the labels carefully, as many brands use paste made with prawns or fish sauce. If you have allergies or cannot tolerate fish or seafood, please be mindful of this.
Ingredients
Tips & storage
The noodles will keep in the fridge for 4 days. To reheat either pop into a hot oven for 15 minutes,or reheat in the microwave.
