Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, water, sliced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

  2. 2

    Simmer the Broth

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Add Main Ingredients
