Instructions

  1. Chicken can be prepared ahead of time. Steam boned chicken in a large pot with water and 1 tsp soy sauce for 25 minutes. (Easy alternative: Cook boneless chicken breasts, chicken broth, and 1 tsp soy sauce in a crock pot or slow cooker on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours.) Cool chicken and shred.
  2. Soak noodles in warm water for approximately 30 minutes. Soak mushrooms in a separate bowl of warm water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut up vegetables
  3. Strain mushrooms. Heat chicken, mushrooms, yellow onions, and 2 tbsp soy sauce in a non-stick skillet. Stir in garlic and ginger. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, shallow pot. Add cabbage, carrots, celery, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, and baby corn. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook briefly, keeping the cabbage and carrots a little crisp. Add chicken and mushroom mixture.
  5. Strain noodles. Add to pot with chicken, all vegetables, and 1.5 cups water or chicken broth. Stir together. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce. Cook for 10 or 15 minutes until noodles and vegetables are soft and combined.
  6. Garnish with sliced hard-boiled eggs and green onions, if using. The green onions will begin to curl when cut this way. Serve.
