Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Soup Base

    In the same pot, add ginger, garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and water, then add soy sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and cooked chicken to the boiling broth. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 4

    Cook the Noodles

    Add the egg noodles or ramen noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the noodles are cooked, remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions. Serve hot, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
