Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the chicken breast, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool before shredding into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Noodles

    In the same pot of broth, add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, remove the noodles and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate pan, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the minced ginger and garlic, sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Then, add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper. Cook until slightly softened.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the shredded chicken back into the pot with the broth, along with the sautéed vegetables. Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to heat through for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Divide the cooked noodles into bowls, ladle the hot chicken broth and vegetables over the noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
