Soup Preparation
  1. Combine chicken thighs, garlic, ginger, and whites of scallions in a large pot. Season with salt and pepper, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  3. Prepare the flavor boost by mixing black rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and crispy chili oil in a medium bowl.
  4. Remove chicken from pot, shred it into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
  5. Add noodles and carrots to the simmering broth. Cook according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Return shredded chicken to the pot, stir to combine, and reheat for another minute.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if necessary. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with scallion greens.

For best results, prepare noodles just before serving to avoid mushiness. Avoid high heat when sautéing garlic and ginger to prevent bitterness.
