Heat the oil on medium heat in a large deep sided frying pan and add the black pepper and cumin seeds. Add the leeks and balsamic, and fry for 2 minutes. Add the celery and fry for a further 2 -3 minutes. Add a little water to loosen the mixture.
Add the chicken thighs and let them fry for 2 minutes on each side. Add the tomatoes, puree and stock powder. Add some water to loosen the mixture. Turn down the heat to low and simmer for 1 -1.5 hours stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
When the chicken starts to seperate under light pressure from a spoon add the crushed noodles. Add 500ml -750ml of hot boiled water. Allow to simmer 5-10 minutes until the noodles are cooked.
Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce and Tamari to flavour.
