INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat
1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium-sized stockpot over medium heat.
2.
To
the oil add the diced shallots and mix well. Cook over medium heat for 4-5
minutes, or until the shallots turn translucent and start to soften. Stir
often.
3. Chop
the end off of each green onion- dividing the white part from the green part.
Chop and set aside the green part for topping. Meanwhile, finely chop the white
part of each green onion.
4. Add
the white part of the green onions, minced garlic, and ginger to the shallots
and mix. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes or until garlic and
ginger is fragrant.
5. Carefully
pour the chicken stock or water (or mix) into the pot and bring to a simmer. To
the pot add the star anise and soy sauce. Cover and continue to simmer for 10
minutes.
6.
Remove
lid from the pot and carefully remove and discard each star anise from the
soup.
7. Add
the sliced mushrooms, uncooked noodles, and bok choy to the pot and simmer for
5-8 minutes, or until noodles and bok choy are tender. Season to taste.
8. Divide
soup between bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, the green parts of green
onions and red pepper flakes (if desired).
NOTES
· Not
everyone loves the taste of star anise. However, I find that it plays a crucial
role in the flavor of the broth. That said, if you hate it or don't have any on
hand, I have found cinnamon sticks to be a good substitute.
· Need
a little protein? Don't be shy about adding some chopped chicken or shrimp to
the soup approximately 5 minutes before serving (assuming the chicken has been
previously cooked).
· For
a lower sodium diet, you can substitute low sodium soy sauce, and/or substitute
unsalted chicken broth.
