Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 (1/4-inch-thick) slices fresh ginger, peeled
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups water
3/4 pound chicken thighs (with bone)
1 teaspoon salt
6 dried shiitake mushrooms (1/2 ounce)
2 cups boiling-hot water
3 1/2 to 4 ounces bean thread (cellophane) noodles *
6 scallions

Steps:

  • Smash ginger and garlic with flat side of a heavy knife, then combine with stock and 3 cups water in a 4-quart heavy saucepan. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove skin and excess fat from chicken thighs and add to stock mixture with salt. Simmer, uncovered, until chicken is cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, soak mushrooms in 2 cups boiling-hot water in a small bowl 15 minutes, then drain and thinly slice, discarding stems.
  • Transfer chicken with a slotted spoon to a cutting board. Shred meat into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Skim fat from broth and discard ginger and garlic. Stir mushrooms and noodles into broth and simmer, uncovered, until noodles are translucent, about 6 minutes. Cut greens of scallions into 1 1/2-inch pieces and stir into broth along with chicken. Simmer, uncovered, until noodles have absorbed most of broth, about 2 minutes.
