Oriental Chicken Noodle Soup with Shiitake Mushrooms

Recipe ingredients

• 8 oz. (250 g) bean thread noodles
• 8 cups (2 L) chicken broth*
• 1 lb (454 g) skinned, boneless chicken breast*
• 4 diagonal slices fresh ginger
• 1 tsp. (5 mL) salt
• 1 tsp. (5 mL) sugar*
• 4 oz. (125 g) shiitake mushrooms, julienned
• 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped green onions
• Pepper to taste

Preparation

Soak noodles in a large bowl of warm water for 30 minutes.

Bring chicken broth to a boil, add chicken breast, ginger and mushrooms, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove chicken breast. Tear chicken into threads.

Stir salt, sugar and mushrooms into broth. Bring to a boil 5 minutes.

Using scissors, cut noodles into 6 in (15 cm) lengths. Add to soup and remove from heat immediately.

Add torn up chicken.

Sprinkle with green onions and pepper.

Suggestion

To clean mushrooms, gently wipe them with a damp cloth or soft brush.

Rinsing them in water tends to make them soggy and reduce their flavour.
