Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry or Shaoxing wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 small heads bok choy
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
- 7 ounces konjac noodles (shirataki noodles)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: Mince the garlic, finely chop the fresh ginger, slice the green onions, and cut the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cooked chicken breast and the shiitake mushrooms.
Rinse and drain the konjac noodles under cold water. Set them aside to dry slightly.
In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and dry sherry or Shaoxing wine. Add the minced garlic and chopped ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Once simmering, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften.
Add the sliced bok choy and the cooked chicken breast to the pot. Let them cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bok choy is wilted and the chicken is warmed through.
Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the konjac noodles and sesame oil. Let the noodles heat through for about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with the salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with the sliced green onions for added freshness.
