Ingredients
  

  • 1 box lo mein noodles
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 48 oz chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup tamari sauce
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1- inch fresh ginger root sliced
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes used half from a can
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 pinch ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 cup julienned carrots optional
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts optional
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic chili paste
  • 1/2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Separate bowl

Method
 

  1. Start by cooking the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and rinse under cold water. This will stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together.
  2. In a large pot, add your chicken breasts along with half of the ginger slices and chicken stock. Bring to a rolling boil and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add tamari sauce, white sugar, dark brown sugar, lime juice, rice vinegar, remaining ginger, and lime zest. Stir this mixture well to combine the flavors.
  4. Chop up the cooked chicken and return it to the pot along with shiitake mushrooms, grape tomatoes, green onions, carrots, and any other veggies you like. Let it all simmer together for about 10 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the pot to thicken the broth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Finally, stir in the cilantro, bean sprouts, garlic chili paste, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Let it sit for a moment to blend those flavors before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust According to Preference: If you prefer more heat, increase the garlic chili paste or add sliced fresh chilies during cooking.
  • Use Leftover Chicken: This is a great way to utilize leftover rotisserie chicken. Just shred it and add it in the last few steps.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with tofu and vegetable broth for a vegetarian delight.
  • Make Ahead: The soup can be prepared in advance. Just add noodles when reheating to prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Experiment with Add-Ins: Consider bok choy, snow peas, or other vegetables to enhance the flavor and nutrition.
