SESAME-GINGER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP



Sesame-Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup image

This noodle soup is a grown-up riff on an old college favorite: Taiwanese instant ramen. The scent of the simmering, chicken-and-ginger broth conjures vivid memories of late-night instant-noodle snacks. This version has all of the good qualities of the store-bought kind, but it's richer in flavor thanks to the bone-in chicken breast (bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs would work too). It hits all the comforting notes of a typical chicken noodle soup, brightened by a hint of sesame oil, fresh scallions and a heavy dose of ginger used in the broth and as a garnish.

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, plus more for serving
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced, plus extra julienned ginger, for garnish
1/4 cup rice cooking wine or any type of white wine
12 ounces fresh ramen noodles or 8 ounces dried ramen noodles
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Ground white or black pepper, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a medium pot over medium. Season chicken with salt and add to pot, skin-side down, along with sliced ginger. Cook, turning, until the chicken skin and ginger slices are golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add rice cooking wine and boil until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add 6 cups water and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, partially cover the pot with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is tender and the broth is flavorful, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from the pot and transfer to a bowl until cool enough to handle. Strain the broth, discarding the ginger, then season with salt, cover and set aside. When the chicken has cooled, discard the skin and bones and shred the meat then return it to the broth.
  • Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to boil and cook ramen noodles according to package instructions.
  • Divide cooked noodles among bowls and top with the chicken and its broth. Garnish with scallions, julienned ginger, a sprinkle of pepper and more sesame oil.

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



Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup image

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons white or yellow miso
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons packed dark-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
4 1/2 teaspoons grated ginger (from a 3-inch piece)
2 bone-in, skin-on chicken-breast halves (each 10 ounces)
Safflower oil, for baking sheet
6 cups Essential Chicken Stock
3 1/2 ounces fresh shiitake-mushroom caps, halved
1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
Coarse salt
8 ounces dried udon noodles
1 bunch watercress, tough stems removed (about 3 cups)
4 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths and finely julienned (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup grated daikon radish

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: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, so it's worth the extra effort to grate it yourself.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the chicken won't cook evenly and the soup will be watery.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the soup hot: Ginger-scented chicken soup is best served hot, so make sure to reheat it if you have leftovers.

Conclusion:

Ginger-scented chicken soup is a delicious and healthy soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're feeling under the weather, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
