Ingredients
1 and a Half Litres of Chicken Stock (or miso soup mix)
2 x Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp fresh chopped root ginger
2 cloves of fresh chopped garlic
100g rice or wheat noodles
100g sweet corn, canned or frozen

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Place the chicken vegetables and onion in a baking dish. Season and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the quince paste, vinegar and 1/4 cup of the chicken stock in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until the quince paste dissolves.
