Liu Shaokun's Spicy Buckwheat Noodles with Chicken

Ingredients for Liu Shaokun's Spicy Buckwheat Noodles with Chicken

• 725ml chicken broth or water (725ml )

• 450g skinless boneless chicken breast halves (2)

• 230g dried buckwheat noodles such as soba noodles

• 1 cucchiaio di olio di arachidi

• 45ml Chinese black vinegar

• 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

• 1 cucchiaio di salsa di soia scura

• 1 tablespoon chilli oil containing sesame oil (such as Chiu Chow Chilli Oil from Lee Kum Kee) plus some of sediment from jar

• 2 spicchi d'aglio, tritati

• 1/2 cucchiaini di zucchero

• 1/8 cucchiaini di sale

• 3 spring onions (green parts only), thinly sliced

• 2 tablespoons soy nuts (roasted salted soybeans)

Bring broth to a simmer in a 3-quart saucepan, then add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cover, then let stand until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool at least 10 minutes, reserving broth for another use.

While chicken is poaching, bring 3.8L salted cold water to a boil in a 5- to 6-quart saucepan over moderately high heat. Stir in noodles, then 120ml cold water. When water returns to a boil, add another 120ml cold water and bring to a boil again, stirring, then repeat once more, or until noodles are just tender but still firm and chewy throughout.

Drain noodles in a colander and rinse well under cold water to cool, then drain well. Toss noodles with peanut oil in a large bowl.

Stir together vinegar, soy sauces, chilli oil with sediment, garlic, sugar, and salt in another bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add to noodles and toss until coated.

Shred chicken with your fingers into 1/4-inch-wide strips and add to noodles, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with spring onions and soy nuts.
