Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chicken breast or thighs
- 300 grams Bok choy
- 1 liter Chicken broth
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 medium-sized Carrot
- 2 stalks Scallions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 100 grams Rice noodles (optional)
Instructions
Wash and thinly slice the bok choy. Separate the stems from the leafy greens and set them aside.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and finely julienne the ginger. Thinly slice the scallions and carrot.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine.
Add the carrot slices and the bok choy stems to the pot. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly tender.
If using rice noodles, prepare them according to the package instructions and add them to the soup.
Stir in the bok choy leafy greens and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced scallions before serving. Enjoy!
