Equipment

  • 4- to 5-quart pot

Ingredients
  

Soup

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 3-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
  • 1 bundle scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated (6 to 8 ounces/170 to 225g)
  • 4 teaspoons kosher salt (11g)
  • freshly ground white or black pepper
  • 10 cups water (2.4kg)
  • 8 ounces dried curly or other dried ramen-style noodles (225g)
  • 1 cup sliced carrot, cut into thin matchsticks (about ½ full-sized carrot, 135g)

To Finish

  • ¼ cup black rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil (25g)
  • crispy chili oil to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Bring the chicken, garlic, ginger, scallion whites (reserve the greens), salt, pepper and water to a boil in a 4- to 5-quart pot. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is very tender and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • While the soup simmers, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl, and add as much or as little chili crisp as your heart desires.
  • Remove the chicken with tongs and transfer it to a cutting board. Add the noodles and carrot to the broth, following the cooking time estimate on your noodles’ package directions. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-size pieces. Once the noodles are done, return the chicken to the pot and rewarm for about 1 minute. Taste, adjusting the seasoning if needed.
  • Divide the soup between bowls. Add a handful of the reserved scallion greens, and drizzle each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce mixture, adding more to taste.

Notes

Crispy chili oil can be adjusted based on spice preference.
