Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 bundle (6 to 8 ounces) scallions, thinly sliced with whites and greens separated
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt
- Freshly ground white or black pepper, to taste
- 10 cups water
- 8 ounces dried ramen-style noodles
- 1 cup sliced carrot, cut into thin matchsticks
- 1/4 cup black rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- Crispy chili oil, to taste
Instructions
- In a 4 to 5-quart pot, combine the chicken thighs, sliced garlic, finely chopped ginger, scallion whites (reserving the greens for garnish), kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer, uncovered, stirring periodically. Continue simmering for approximately 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and exceptionally tender.
- While the chicken broth simmers, prepare the accompanying sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the black rice vinegar, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. Incorporate crispy chili oil according to your preferred level of spice.
- Carefully remove the cooked chicken thighs from the pot using tongs and transfer them to a cutting board. Add the ramen-style noodles and matchstick carrots to the simmering broth, cooking them according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, use two forks to shred the chicken into uniform bite-sized pieces. Once the noodles are al dente, return the shredded chicken to the pot and gently rewarm for one minute. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning as necessary.
- Ladle the finished ginger garlic chicken noodle soup into individual serving bowls. Garnish each bowl generously with the reserved scallion greens and drizzle with approximately 1 tablespoon of the prepared soy sauce mixture. Serve immediately, adding additional sauce to taste.
