Chicken Nuggets with Broccoli-Cream Sauce and Homemade Wide Noodles
Ingredients
Instructions
Meat
Cut about 1kg of chicken thigh meat into strips, mix with a blend of spices (dried garlic, smoked sweet paprika, ground caraway, salt) and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour. Then coat with cornstarch and sear in hot oil in a pan. Finally, drizzle with soy sauce and a bit of water, and let it "soak in" while stirring constantly.
Sauce
1 head of broccoli (break into florets, peel the stem and cut into slices), 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 cloves of garlic (pressed), oil, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 vegetable bouillon cube, water, 1 jar of cream for cooking, salt, ground black pepper. Cook the broccoli in salted water until soft and puree with a hand blender. Sauté the onion in oil, add the flour, brown it, then add water. Mix thoroughly, add the bouillon cube and simmer gently. Then add garlic, pureed broccoli, salt, ground black pepper, pour in the cream and heat gently.
Homemade Noodles
2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 eggs, lukewarm water. Pour the flour onto a board, make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it, add a little water (about 1-2 tablespoons) and mix everything with a fork. Then knead with your hands, the dough is quite firm, but should not be crumbly. If the dough is too dry, add water little by little until smooth. I let the whole dough rest for a while under a warm pot. Then divide into smaller pieces and pass through a pasta machine with the appropriate wide noodle attachment or cut into desired shapes by hand. Let them dry slightly and then cook in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again, and mix with oil to prevent sticking.
