Yen Can Cook: Chicken Pasta with Cream Miso
Chinese New Year is officially ended and it’s time to back on track and here’s the long missing Yen Can Cook post! I believe many of you already get bored of Chinese food during the festive season so let’s go Western today! How about pasta with a Japanese twist?

1 piece boneless chicken drumstick/breast meat
300g penne (or other types of pasta or yellow noodles)
1/2 packet Shimeji mushroom
5-6 florets broccoli, blanced
1/4 yellow onion, sliced
2 teaspoons miso
100ml milk
30ml whipped cream
Salt & pepper
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Cut the chicken meat into bite size then season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Trim the Shimeji mushrooms, then separate them into small bundles.
Step 3: Cook the penne according to package instruction, drain and set aside.

Step 4: Heat up cooking oil in a skillet, pan fry the chicken meat (Step 1) until golden brown for both size and fully cooked. Remove then set aside.

Step 5: In the same skillet, stir fry the sliced yellow onions until soften then add in Shimeji mushroom and continue stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6: Pour in milk and whipped cream (adjust the amount according to preference) as well as miso. Stir and make sure the miso is fully dissolved.

Step 7: Add the penne (Step 3) into the sauce, toss to combine. Add chicken meat (Step 4) and blanched broccoli, slightly toss and season with salt and pepper. Served.

This pasta dish is great as bento food tooΒ ^__* Β #yensbento

HAPPY COOKING!

This looks quite easy for a quick pasta meal. It is delicious with a Japanese twist for a change.
Most important is it can be done in one pot, easy cleaning after meal π
It is a nice change from the usual Italian style pasta.
Yeah, maybe you can try it too π
For the lactose intolerant me, this dish will spell trouble after 24 hours.
Aiya, maybe you can experience with soy milk then let me know the result?
Like the idea serving as bento food, at least won’t be so filling…
Creamy pasta can be quite filling one ler, hehe ^__^
cute way of cooking chicken pasta! π
Thanks Sean, I like it because it can be done in ONE pot only, haha!
I don’t like my pasta served with cream-sauce, too fattening :p
Don’t worry friend, you are slim π My next pasta dish will be in tomato sauce, stay tune ~~
Pasta with a Japanese twist….nice! Though I’ve never cooked anything with miso before.
Really, not even the easiest miso soup? Because you don’t like miso?
