Ingredients
1 pound small skinless, boneless chicken thighs
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 slices fresh ginger, lightly smashed, plus 1 tablespoon finely grated
2 scallions, whites cut into 2-inch pieces and greens thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup sugar snap peas
3 carrots
1 9.5-ounce package soba
4 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seasoning) or Asian chili sauce, for topping
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the chicken thighs, chicken broth, sliced ginger, scallion whites, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Uncover and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, trim the snap peas and thinly slice. Peel the carrots and halve lengthwise, then thinly slice.
- Add the soba to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under warm water, then vigorously shake off the water. Divide among bowls.
- Using tongs, remove the chicken to a plate. Discard the ginger and scallions from the broth and skim off any foam. Shred the chicken and return to the broth. Add the shiitakes and carrots, return to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas.
- Ladle the soup over the noodles. Top with the scallion greens and grated ginger; sprinkle with shichimi togarashi.
