• 100 grams Baby spinach
• 100 grams Shiitake mushrooms
• 1 medium Carrot
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 liter Chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon White pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Scallions

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the ingredients: thinly slice the chicken breast, remove stems from the shiitake mushrooms and slice them thinly, peel and julienne the carrot, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the gluten-free rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the sliced chicken breast to the pot and stir-fry until the chicken is no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrots, tamari, salt, and white pepper. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach to the pot and continue to simmer until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the cooked rice noodles among serving bowls and ladle the hot broth and ingredients over the noodles.

Step 8

Garnish each bowl with chopped scallions and serve immediately.
