Ingredients

  • 4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 c. water
  • 1/4 c. mirin
  • 1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 2 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 8 oz. rice vermicelli
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 6 center-cut salmon fillets with skin
  • 1 lb. baby bok choy
  • 2 scallions

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth, water, mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sugar to a boil.

  4. Add the bok choy to the boiling broth and cook until bright green, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, divide the greens among the bowls and spoon in the broth. Garnish with the scallions and serve.
