Ingredients

• 300 grams chicken breast
• 200 grams rice noodles
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 units garlic cloves
• 100 grams baby spinach
• 1 unit carrot
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 150 grams tofu
• 2 units green onions
• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a gentle boil.

Step 3

While waiting for the broth to boil, peel and julienne the carrot. Mince the garlic and ginger separately.

Step 4

Once the broth is boiling, add the chicken strips, minced ginger, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 5

Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then add the julienned carrot and continue to simmer for 3 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, slice the tofu into small cubes. Lower the heat of the broth, and gently add the tofu cubes, allowing them to warm through for about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water until soft, then draining.

Step 8

Add the rice noodles to the soup, and stir in the baby spinach until it has wilted.

Step 9

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Finally, chop the green onions and fresh cilantro. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
