- 1 inch piece Ginger, sliced thinly
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 units Green onions, chopped

Instructions
Soak the rice vermicelli in warm water for about 10 minutes or until soft, then drain and set aside.
In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer over medium heat.
Add sliced ginger and minced garlic to the broth, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Add the chicken breast to the pot and poach for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it cool slightly before shredding it with a fork.
Add the julienned carrot and chopped bok choy to the simmering broth and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
Divide the softened rice vermicelli among serving bowls.
Top the noodles with shredded chicken, then ladle the hot broth and vegetables over the top.
Garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and sliced red chili, if using.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra tang, if desired.
