SESAME-GINGER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
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.

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.

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: 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!
