In a large pot, combine chicken stock and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add dashi powder, soy sauce, salt, sugar, and sliced ginger to the pot. Stir well to dissolve and blend flavors.
Reduce heat to low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or soy sauce for a deeper flavor.
Remove and discard the ginger slices once the broth is done simmering.
Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids for a clear, smooth finish.
Return the broth to the pot and keep warm until ready to serve.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with cooked Saimin noodles and toppings of your choice, such as char siu pork, fish cake, or scrambled egg.
