Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 200 g egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Start by heating oil in a large pot over medium heat. As the oil warms, add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. This is where the magic begins. The aroma that rises from the pot is unmistakable—sharp, warm, and incredibly inviting. Let it cook for about a minute, just until fragrant.
- Add the sliced onion, carrots, and celery. Stir gently and allow them to soften. This step always reminds me of slow afternoons in the kitchen, where nothing is rushed and every layer of flavor is given time to develop.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. This is when the broth deepens in flavor, absorbing all the aromatic goodness.
- Add the shredded chicken and soy sauce. Stir well, letting everything come together. Then, add the egg noodles and cook until they are tender but still slightly firm. The noodles will soak up the broth, becoming infused with all those rich flavors.
- Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and fresh green onions. Give it one last stir, and your aromatic ginger garlic chicken noodle soup is ready to serve.
- Ladle it into bowls while it is still steaming, and take a moment to appreciate the comforting aroma before the first bite.
Notes
