Steps:
- Heat the oil in a 3.5 qt pot or dutch oven over medium heat until hot. Add the chicken thighs. Cook undisturbed for a minute or until the bottom turns light golden.
- Flip the chicken thighs. Add the garlic, ginger, green onion, cumin, and Sichuan peppercorns. Cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the spices release fragrance.
- Add the Shaoxing wine, stock, cilantro, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook covered for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a separate pot according to package directions. (*Footnote 3)
- Remove the chicken with a pair of tongs and transfer it to a plate. Use two forks to remove and discard the chicken skin. Then use the forks to shred the chicken meat.
- Use a mesh colander to remove the solid ingredients and discard them.
- Add the soy sauce and taste the broth to adjust the seasoning. Heat over medium-high heat again, to return to a boil.
- Add the carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Add the bok choy for another minute or until it reaches the desired texture. Add back the shredded chicken and give it a stir, so it warms up again.
- Transfer the noodles, the broth and vegetables to serving bowls. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and serve hot.

MEAL IN A BOWL WITH CHICKEN, RICE NOODLES AND SPINACH
This comforting soup is a simplified version of a Vietnamese phô or a Japanese ramen (using rice sticks instead of somen).

Steps:
- If possible, do this step a day ahead: Combine the chicken and 3 quarts water in a large, heavy soup pot and bring to a simmer. Skim off foam and add the onion, ginger root, garlic cloves, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat, cover partially, and simmer 40 minutes. Skim occasionally. Remove the chicken pieces from the broth and allow to cool. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and strain the broth into a bowl. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred and refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve the soup. Refrigerate the broth for at least 3 hours or, preferably, overnight. Lift off the fat from the surface and discard.
- About 30 minutes before you wish to serve the meal, remove the chicken and broth from the refrigerator. Bring the broth to a simmer and add the fish sauce (or soy sauce) and salt to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings. Place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit for 20 minutes, then drain.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook just until tender, 30 seconds to a minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- Just before serving, add the spinach to the simmering soup. To serve the soup, distribute the noodles among 4 to 6 large bowls. Top with shredded chicken and a handful of chopped cilantro. Ladle the simmering broth, with some of the spinach, into each bowl over the chicken and noodles. Serve at once, passing the limes for guests to squeeze on as they wish.

GARLIC SPINACH SOUP
If you are a fan of ginger and garlic, then this is for you. If you have a cold and are tired of the same old chicken noodle, then give this a try. Serve with soya sauce or Maggi seasoning.
