Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
• 8 ounces of rice noodles
• 4 cups of chicken broth
• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of sriracha (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Spicy Noodle Soup with Chicken

1. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, then stir in the sriracha. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. While the broth is heating, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
5. Add the rice noodles to the boiling broth and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes.
6. Once the noodles are tender, return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
7. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth if you have it on hand.
• Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your spice preference; start with less and add more as needed.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water) to the broth.

Easy Variations

• Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
• Add vegetables like bok choy, carrots, or bell peppers for extra nutrition and color.
• Use whole wheat or gluten-free noodles to suit dietary preferences.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy spring rolls for a delightful crunch.
• Fresh cilantro or basil to sprinkle on top for added freshness.
• A small salad with a sesame dressing to complement the meal.
