Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated or minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 medium carrots, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie or poached)
  • 150g (5 oz) dried rice noodles, soaked per package directions
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh scallions, sliced, for garnish
  • Chili flakes or sesame seeds (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Noodles: Soak rice noodles in warm water per package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat sesame oil in a large pot. Add onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Broth and Carrots: Pour in chicken broth and soy sauce. Add carrots and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Simmer Chicken: Stir in shredded chicken and simmer 10 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Add Noodles and Season: Add soaked noodles, rice vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2–3 minutes until noodles are tender.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Ladle into bowls and top with scallions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes if desired.

Notes

  • Always use fresh ginger for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook noodles—they cook quickly in broth.
  • Add a splash of lime juice at the end for brightness.
  • For more nutrition, toss in spinach, bok choy, or napa cabbage before serving.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
