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.

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.

I tried this recipe and it was a complete disaster. The chicken was tough and the broth was flavorless.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water.

I wasn't a big fan of this soup. I found the broth to be bland and the chicken to be dry.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less ginger.
