Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil or olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 6 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 6 oz dried egg noodles or ramen noodles
- 2 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and white pepper to taste
- Chili oil or sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the aromatics are fragrant but not browned.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot. Stir well to coat with the aromatics and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the outside of the chicken turns white.
- Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Stir in the noodles and chopped bok choy. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes, or until the noodles are tender (check package directions for specific noodle cooking times).
- Taste the broth and season with salt and white pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions and a drizzle of chili oil if desired.
Notes
If you plan to have leftovers, cook the noodles separately and add them to individual bowls just before serving. This prevents the noodles from absorbing all the broth and becoming soggy in the fridge. You can substitute chicken breast for thighs, but be careful not to overcook it.
