Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Let it warm for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring it becomes shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Add diced boneless, skinless chicken breast to the pot, seasoning it generously with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until cooked and lightly browned.
  3. Add sliced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger to the cooked chicken. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and water, stirring gently. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Once boiling, add julienned carrots and sliced bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
  6. Stir in the egg noodles or rice noodles. Cook according to package instructions until al dente.
  7. Two minutes before noodles are done, add bok choy or spinach, stirring gently until wilted.
  8. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  9. Ladle the steaming soup into bowls, garnishing with sliced green onions. Serve hot.
