Homemade Instant Mami Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup canola oil or any mild-flavored vegetable oil
- 5 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 stalk Lemongrass (white part only), chopped very finely
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 6 chicken thigh fillets (about 300 grams)
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 white onion thinly sliced
- 1 carrot (about 170 grams), cut into thin matchsticks
- 1/2 head cabbage (about 200 grams), thinly sliced
- sea salt to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- canola oil for cooking chicken
- 200 Grams egg noodles prepared according to package directions
- 10 stalks green onions white and light green parts, chopped
- 4 sprigs cilantro leaves only
Instructions
- Make the seasoning oil: Place canola oil, garlic, lemongrass, grated ginger, chili flakes, and sesame oil in a skillet and mix well. Place over low heat and cook until sizzling. Cook for about 1 minute or until garlic turns light tan in color but is not toasted. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and let cool for a few minutes. Add soy sauce. Mix well and set aside.
- Make the marinade: Mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl.
- Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the broth: Bring stock to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer; add sliced onions, carrots, and cabbage. Simmer until vegetables are just cooked. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Remove from heat.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a couple of swirls of oil. When hot, lay marinated chicken in pan, being careful not to overcrowd it. Pan-fry chicken until done. Set aside to cool slightly. Slice chicken into strips.
- Arrange noodles in bowls. Top with sliced chicken, green onions, and cilantro leaves. Pour in hot broth and add vegetables. Serve with seasoning oil on the side.
