Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups chicken broth
½ cup water
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup sliced bamboo shoots, drained
3 slices fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth, water, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and hot pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer while you assemble the rest of the ingredients.
  • Place the chicken slices into a bowl and toss with the sesame oil to coat. In a separate bowl, stir together the cornstarch and vinegar, and set aside.
  • Increase the heat under the broth to medium-high, and return to a rolling boil. Add the chicken slices. Return to a boil, and then drizzle in the egg while stirring slowly to create long strands of egg. Stir in the vinegar and cornstarch. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and the broth has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Serve garnished with green onions and cilantro.

6 cups vegetables or 6 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons peanut oil
fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 red fresno chile, sliced
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced into 1/2 inch-thick slices
1 tablespoon shaoxing wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 (6 ounce) package fresh extra firm tofu, chopped into long strips
3 fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced

fresh ground white pepper, to taste
2 scallions, green part only and thinly sliced (garnish)
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped (garnish)

Steps:

  • Cook the egg noodles in 1 quart boiling water until al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain and toss with a small amount of toasted sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • Have the stock heating in a pot.
  • Heat a large wok over high heat. When the wok begins to smoke, add the peanut oil. Stir-fry the ginger and chile for less than 30 seconds. Add the chicken and let settle for 1 minute before stir-frying.
  • As the chicken begins to brown, add the rice wine and stir-fry until the wine has almost evaporated. Carefully stir in the tofu. Then add in the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and the white parts of the napa cabbage, and stir-fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the hot stock. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer. Season the soup with the soy sauce, black rice vinegar, salt and ground white pepper. Stir in the green parts of the napa cabbage and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, skimming off any foam that arises.
  • Divide the noodles into 4 bowls. Ladle some of the soup over the noodles and garnish with scallions and cilantro.
