COLD-BUSTING GINGER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
A spicy addition to a classic soup. I normally make this with a whole chicken and let it cook for an hour, remove the meat, and return the bones for another hour on their own, chicken breasts are used here for simplicity.

GINGER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
The classic cure-all chicken noodle soup gets a Japanese makeover, with slices of miso-marinated chicken breast and hearty udon noodles in a steamy broth. Grated daikon radish and fresh ginger not only brighten the flavor--their subtle heat and pepperiness may even help clear congestion.

Steps:
- Stir together miso, wine, brown sugar, sesame oil, and 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger. Rub mixture all over chicken and under skin; let stand 1 hour. Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third. Place chicken, skin-side up, on a lightly oiled rimmed baking sheet; roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of breasts (avoiding bone) registers 135 degrees, 12 to 14 minutes. Increase heat to broil and cook, rotating pan, until skin is crisp and thermometer registers 160 degrees, 3 to 4 minutes more. Let rest 15 minutes; remove meat from bones and slice crosswise.
- Bring stock and mushrooms to a boil in a medium pot, then reduce heat and simmer until mushrooms are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon ginger and tamari; season with salt. In another pot, cook udon in salted boiling water according to package instructions; drain and rinse. Divide udon, broth, and mushrooms among bowls. Top with chicken, watercress, and scallions; serve, with daikon.
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate it yourself to get the most out of its pungent aroma and zesty taste.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili flakes to your liking. If you prefer a milder soup, use less chili flakes or omit them altogether.
- For a vegetarian version of this soup, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth and use tofu or tempeh instead of chicken.
- Serve the soup with a side of rice or noodles for a complete meal.
- Garnish the soup with chopped cilantro, green onions, or sesame seeds for an extra pop of flavor and color.
