Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 8 cups Chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 pieces Carrots, julienned
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 heads Baby bok choy, chopped
- 3 pieces Green onions, chopped
- 8 ounces Rice noodles
- 1 piece Lime
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the pot and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, heat another teaspoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the julienned carrots, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and chopped baby bok choy to the pot. Slice the seared chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the soup.
Let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
Meanwhile, in a separate pot, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the soup is ready, adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or soy sauce as desired. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.
To serve, place a portion of rice noodles into each bowl. Ladle the hot soup over the noodles.
Garnish with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
