Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry or Shaoxing wine
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 small heads bok choy
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast
- 7 ounces konjac noodles (shirataki noodles)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the ingredients: Mince the garlic, finely chop the fresh ginger, slice the green onions, and cut the bok choy into bite-sized pieces. Slice the cooked chicken breast and the shiitake mushrooms.
Step 2
Rinse and drain the konjac noodles under cold water. Set them aside to dry slightly.
Step 3
In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, and dry sherry or Shaoxing wine. Add the minced garlic and chopped ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 4
Once simmering, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to soften.
Step 5
Add the sliced bok choy and the cooked chicken breast to the pot. Let them cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bok choy is wilted and the chicken is warmed through.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in the konjac noodles and sesame oil. Let the noodles heat through for about 2 minutes.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with the salt and black pepper as needed.
Step 8
Serve the soup hot, garnished with the sliced green onions for added freshness.
