Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 4 green onions sliced into rounds, white parts only (keep green parts for garnish)
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups water
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 6 ounces lo mein egg noodles
- 2 carrots sliced into thin rounds
- 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 5 ounces bag fresh baby spinach
- sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to taste, optional
Instructions
- Saute the aromatics. Heat the vegetable oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender.
- Add the broth and chicken. Increase the heat to medium-high and add water and chicken broth. Add chicken breasts; stir in teriyaki sauce and season with salt and black pepper.
- Cook. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce to a simmer, and continue to cook for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is done. Cooking time will depend on the size and weight of the chicken breasts.
- Shred the chicken. Remove the cover and transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let it cool for a minute, then shred it.
- Cook the noodles and vegetables. Add the noodles, carrots, and peppers to the pot and cook for about 3 minutes or until the noodles and veggies are just tender.
- Finish. Stir in the baby spinach and shredded chicken and cook for a minute, or until the spinach is wilted.
- Serve. Remove from heat. Garnish with green onions. Ladle your Asian noodle soup into soup bowls and serve with hot sauce.
