Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and slice into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add garlic and ginger; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and carrot, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and mirin. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Cook Udon Noodles

    Add the udon noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the udon is cooked, return the sliced chicken to the pot along with the spinach or bok choy. Stir until the greens are wilted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve hot.
