Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 120 milliliters water
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1200 milliliters chicken broth
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 2 small, chopped bok choy
• 1 medium, julienned carrot
• 100 grams, sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 200 grams cooked shredded chicken
• 2 stalks, chopped green onions
• 2 tablespoons, chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

To make the noodles, combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix to form a dough.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut into 1/4-inch wide strips. Lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 4

In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add minced garlic and ginger, allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.

Step 5

Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, julienned carrot, and chopped bok choy to the broth. Simmer for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Add the fresh noodle strips to the simmering broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the cooked shredded chicken. Season the soup with sesame oil, white pepper, and additional salt if necessary.

Step 8

Divide the Ban Mian among serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
