Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, combine the boneless skinless chicken thighs, minced garlic, chopped ginger, scallion whites, kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and 10 cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes, until the chicken is tender.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the black rice vinegar, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil. Adjust the spice level by adding crispy chili oil to taste.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Add the dried ramen noodles and carrot matchsticks to the pot. Stir and cook according to package instructions, typically for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir gently. Allow the soup to gently reheat for about 1 minute.
  6. Serve in bowls, garnishing with reserved scallion greens.
