180 g
chicken stock/broth, low sodium
3 cup
garlic

2 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Add the chicken broth, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, Chinese cooking wine, and sesame oil to a saucepan. Cover, bring to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 8 to 10 minutes to infuse the broth with flavor.

While the broth simmers, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and divide the noodles between serving bowls.

Trim the bok choy and cut each one in half lengthwise, or into quarters if large. Rinse well to remove any grit.

Cook the bok choy for about 1 minute until just tender. You can blanch it directly in the soup broth or in the noodle cooking water if that is still hot.

Remove and discard the garlic cloves and ginger pieces from the broth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
