Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 2 tablespoons of minced fresh ginger and 4 chopped scallions, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant and the scallions soften.
  2. Once the ginger and scallions are aromatic, stir in 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 8 ounces of noodles into the pot. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender.
  4. Taste your soup and season with salt and pepper. Optionally add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with sliced scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and serve hot.
