Quick and comforting soba noodle soup with flavorful seasonings like ginger, lime, scallions, and herbs. Ready in just 30 minutes!
Ingredients:
  • 8 cups chicken stock, or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Thai sweet red chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 8 ounces soba (buckwheat) noodles
  • 4 baby bok choy, cut into 1-inch slices, or halved lengthwise
  • 6 scallions, thinly sliced
  • A few sprigs Thai basil, mint or cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Instructions:
  • Create tender chicken: Tenderize a boneless skinless chicken breast in a saucepan filled with stock just enough to cover the meat. Gently simmer with a slightly ajar lid for 5 minutes. Rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Remove, shred with your fingers when cooled.
  • As the chicken cools, enhance the stock's flavor: Pour in the rest of the chicken stock and gently simmer. Introduce ginger, lime juice, fish sauce, chili sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well and adjust seasoning to taste. For a spicier taste, incorporate more chili sauce. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes for the flavors to blend beautifully.
  • While you wait, cook the soba noodles by boiling a large pot of water. Add the noodles and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until tender, following package instructions. Drain in a colander. If not serving immediately, rinse noodles under cold water, drain, and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking until soup is ready.
  • Simmer the bok choy and scallions in the soup broth for 1 minute. For halved bok choy, cook a few minutes more until tender. Remove from heat.
  • To plate the soup: Distribute the noodles evenly among 4 large soup bowls. Arrange the chicken on top of the noodles. Pour the broth and vegetables over the bowls. Optionally, sprinkle with basil, mint or cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes.
