Making the Soup
- Heat 1 tbsp (15ml) neutral oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp (12g) grated yellow ginger. Sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant and translucent.
- Pour in 6 cups (1440ml) chicken broth and add 1 tsp (5g) sea salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat.
- Submerge 1 lb (450g) chicken breast into the simmering broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and poach for 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Let rest for 5 minutes, then use two forks to pull it into tender torn chunks.
- In a separate pot of boiling salted water, cook 8 oz (225g) thick wavy egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide among serving bowls.
- Return the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the diagonally sliced carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes. In the last minute, add the baby bok choy until wilted.
- Ladle the hot golden broth and vegetables over the noodles. Top with the torn chicken chunks.
- Drizzle each bowl with toasted sesame oil to create glistening droplets. Finish with diagonally sliced scallions and toasted white sesame seeds.
Notes
Never Boil the Broth: A violent boil will cloud your broth. Maintain a gentle simmer.
Store noodles separately from the broth to prevent them from becoming mushy.
