Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. Cooking oil
- 6 scallions including green tops
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp. chopped fresh ginger
- 1/4 c. soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp. dried red-pepper flakes
- 3 1/2 c. water
- 3 1/2 c. canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 4 carrots
- 3/4 lb. napa (Chinese) cabbage (about 1/2 head)
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1 small head bok choy (about 3/4 pound)
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 lb. Vermicelli
- 1 1/2 tsp. Asian sesame oil
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat the cooking oil over moderately low heat. Add the scallions, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, red-pepper flakes, water and broth and bring to a boil.
- Add the carrots to the broth and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and salt and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Add the bok choy and lemon zest and simmer until the bok choy starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the vermicelli until just done, about 9 minutes. Drain. Return the noodles to the pot and toss with the sesame oil. Put some noodles in each of four bowls and ladle the soup over the noodles.
- Wine Recommendation: German wines are huge sellers in Japan; their exciting juxtaposition of tangy acidity, vibrant aromatic fruitiness, and balancing sweetness is ideal for Asian cuisine. Look for a Mosel kabinett for a match made in heaven.
