Method
- Place the chicken, bay leaves and garlic in a pan with 1 litre cold water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, until cooked through, skimming any froth from the surface. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Continue to simmer the broth, adding the soy sauce, wine, honey and lemon juice. Season, adding more soy sauce or lemon juice, if you like.
- Blanch the noodles for 3 minutes in boiling water. Drain and divide between bowls. Thinly slice the chicken and put on top of the noodles. Pour over the broth, scatter with mint and top with a slice of lemon.
