Ingredients
2 tablespoons toasted sesame OIL
, divided
1 bunch scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger 4 cups water
3 tablespoons white miso (see Tip)
1 1/2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs,
trimmed, cut into bite-size pieces 8 cups chopped bok choy
4 ounces dried Chinese noodles, broken in half 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and
sliced (2 cups sliced) Preparation
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add
scallion whites, garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add water, miso,
soy sauce and the remaining 1
tablespoon oil bring to a boil. Stir in chicken, bok choy, noodles and mushrooms. Cover and
return to a boil.
Uncover, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and
the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with the scallion greens.
Look for mild-flavored white (sweet) miso, made with soy and rice, near tofu at well-stocked
supermarkets. It will keep in the refrigerator for at least a year.
