Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
3 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
6 ounces egg noodles
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add grated ginger, white parts of scallions, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Add the chicken breasts to the boiling broth. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
Add egg noodles and shredded carrots to the simmering broth. Cook for 6-8 minutes until noodles are tender.
While the noodles cook, shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Add the green parts of the scallions and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
