2.4 litres water
→ Noodles and Vegetables

60 millilitres black rice vinegar

60 millilitres soy sauce

Crispy chili oil, to taste
# How to Make It:
01 -
Combine chicken thighs, sliced garlic, chopped ginger, scallion whites, kosher salt, pepper, and water in a 4 to 5 litre pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until chicken is thoroughly cooked and very tender, about 15 minutes.
02 -
While the soup simmers, whisk together black rice vinegar, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil in a bowl. Stir in crispy chili oil to taste for desired heat and complexity.
03 -
When chicken is tender, remove pieces from pot with tongs and set on a cutting board. Add dried noodles and carrot matchsticks to the simmering broth, cooking according to noodle packaging (typically 3–4 minutes). Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
04 -
Once noodles are tender, return shredded chicken to the pot. Stir to combine and warm through for approximately 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or a dash of soy sauce if needed.
05 -
Divide soup, noodles, and chicken evenly among serving bowls. Top each with a generous amount of reserved scallion greens. Drizzle each bowl with approximately 1 tablespoon of the prepared sauce, allowing additional sauce or chili oil to be added to individual preference.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For optimal flavor, use a mixture of scallion whites and greens, reserving the greens for final garnishing.
02 -
Adjust the amount of chili oil for preferred spice level. Extra sauce can be served tableside.
