Ingredients
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 piece ginger (3 inches), peeled and finely chopped
- 1 bundle scallions (6 to 8 oz), thinly sliced, divided into whites and greens
- 4 tsp kosher salt
- Freshly ground black or white pepper, to taste
- 10 cups water
- 8 oz dried ramen noodles or dried curly noodles
- 1 cup carrot, cut into thin matchsticks
- 1/4 cup black rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- Crispy chili oil, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the 2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs into a large pot. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure even cooking throughout.
- Step 2: Add the 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, directly to the pot with the chicken. Allow the garlic to release its aroma as the pot heats up.
- Step 3: Add 1 piece ginger (3 inches), peeled and finely chopped, to the pot. The finely chopped ginger will dissolve slightly into the broth, infusing every drop with warmth and spice.
- Step 4: Add the scallion whites from 1 bundle scallions, thinly sliced, to the pot. Reserve the green tops for garnishing at the end.
- Step 5: Sprinkle in 4 tsp kosher salt, distributing it evenly over the chicken and aromatics to begin seasoning the broth from the very start.
- Step 6: Season generously with freshly ground black or white pepper, to taste. White pepper adds a slightly more floral, subtle heat that pairs beautifully with the ginger.

Step 7: Pour in 10 cups water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a steady simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the broth is deeply fragrant. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot. Stir in the soy sauce, black rice vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. Add the carrot matchsticks and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Cook your noodles separately according to package directions, then divide them among bowls. Ladle the hot broth and chicken over the noodles, top with reserved scallion greens, and finish with crispy chili oil to taste.
