STIR-FRIED CARROT NOODLES WITH CHICKEN
This stir fried carrot noodles dish produces a wonderful wok hay flavor from stir frying the carrots at searing high heat. The carrot noodles added an extra layer of flavor to the dish that you normally would not get using wheat noodles.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar or honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly crisp. Add the chicken all in 1 layer, and allow to sear on one side for 1 minute.
- Once seared, stir-fry the chicken for a few seconds, and then add the carrot noodles. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, and add an additional tablespoon of soy sauce, along with the scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add the baby spinach.
- Stir in the spinach until it's just wilted (it should only take a few seconds). Serve, and top with more chopped scallions if desired!

GINGERY CHICKEN SOUP WITH ZUCCHINI "NOODLES"
This immunity-boosting chicken noodle soup is just as comforting as your grandma's, but it's also gluten-free and paleo-friendly, thanks to a big helping of spiralized zucchini "noodles" instead of traditional wheat-based pasta. The homemade chicken broth is flavored with ginger in two ways: sliced ginger simmers slowly to lend warming background notes, while freshly grated ginger added at the end of cooking brings zippy flavor and extra health benefits.

Steps:
- Scrub 2 carrots and cut into 2" pieces. Finely grate ginger to yield 1 tsp., then thinly slice remaining ginger. Place chopped carrots, ginger slices, chicken, onion, celery, garlic, peppercorns, and cilantro stems, if using, in stockpot. Fill with cold (preferably filtered) water to cover (about 4 quarts). Cover and heat over high until mixture comes to a low boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low and bring to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, skimming foam and fat from the surface occasionally and reducing heat if needed so mixture does not come to a boil, until chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes.
- Using tongs, carefully transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Remove meat from bones, discard skin, and return bones to pot. Continue to simmer until liquid is flavorful andreduced, about 2 hours. Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces and reserve.
- Peel remaining 2 carrots and cut into 1/4"-thick slices on the bias. Spiralize zucchini into noodles (alternatively, use mandoline with julienne blade). Divide zucchini noodles among bowls.
- Carefully strain broth into a large bowl or another pot (you should have about 8 cups). Return broth to stockpot and bring to a simmer. Add shredded chicken, sliced carrots, 1 tsp. grated ginger, 2 tsp. salt, and 3/4 tsp. pepper and cook until carrots are tender, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, taste, and adjust seasoning.
- Ladle soup over zucchini noodles and top with cilantro, if using. Serve with lime wedges alongside, if using.
- Do Ahead
- Soup (without zucchini) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 6 months. When ready to serve, rewarm soup, spiralize zucchini, and divide zucchini among bowls. Ladle soup over zucchini.
