Preparation
- Remove visible fat from the legs, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the butter/ghee in a frying pan and fry the legs until brown on all sides. Place the seared legs on a plate and let it cool down.
- Finely chop the spring onion. Peel the garlic and peel the ginger. Finely chop both. Fry the spring onion with the garlic and ginger in the remaining shortening. In a bowl, mix the mirin with the miso paste, soy sauce and chili sauce.
- Detach the chicken meat from the bone and cut into strips. Return the chicken to the pan and add the mirin sauce. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes and thicken. Return the chicken meat to a plate and keep warm.
- Divide the broccoli into small florets and cook them in salted water for 4-5 minutes until just al dente. Place them in a bowl of ice water and drain. Separate the pak choi leaves or cut the heads into quarters. Pour the stock into the casserole and bring to a boil. Add the pak choi and noodles and cook for a few minutes until the noodles are al dente (see package directions).
- Divide the basil leaves and broccoli florets among 4 wide bowls. Season the soup to taste and divide between the bowls with the noodles and the pak choi. Add the chicken strips and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
