Recipe by Ian Knauer Scour your local Chinatown for fresh chow fun noodles for this soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 ounces fresh wide Chinese noodles, such as chow fun noodles
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat until hot. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then sear the chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and let cool to warm, then shred the chicken.
  2. Bring the stock, ginger, and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil in a the same saucepan. Stir in the noodles and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir together the soy and corn starch, then whisk into the broth and boil until the soup is slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk together the eggs, sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then pour the eggs into the hot broth in a slow stream, whisking constantly to scatter the eggs as they cook. Stir in the chicken, then season the soup with salt to taste. Serve the soup topped with the scallions.
