Instructions

Prepare the rotisserie chicken:

  • Pick the meat from the rotisserie chicken and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the carcass for homemade stock or discard it.

Prepare the soup:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 3–4 minutes. Season with salt.
  • Add the ginger, chili peppers, and white parts of the scallions. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and add the shredded chicken. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and season for 30 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper.

Cook the noodles:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse, and divide between four bowls.

Finish the soup:

  • Add half the minced scallion greens to the soup and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Taste and season. Simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.

Make the garnish:

  • Combine the remaining minced scallion greens in a small bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.

To serve:

  • Ladle the soup over the cooked noodles. Garnish with the scallions and a pinch of minced chilies if you like. Enjoy!
