Step by step
- Grab a large pot or Dutch oven. Put it on medium-high heat. You are going to build incredible flavor today!
- Toss your sliced chicken thighs with the canola oil and 1 tablespoon of the Salted Perfection Abilene Select Blend. Sear them in the hot pot until browned and cooked through. Take the chicken out and set it aside. Leave those beautiful brown bits in the pot!
- Drop the fresh ginger and sliced shiitake mushrooms right into the pot. Sauté them for two minutes until they start to soften and soak up that savory chicken flavor.
- Pour in the chicken bone broth, water, soy sauce, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of the Abilene Select Blend. Bring the whole thing to a rolling boil. You are doing great!
- Carefully drop in the fresh udon noodles and the quartered baby bok choy. Let them cook for exactly three minutes until the noodles are tender and the greens are bright.
- Kill the heat. Stir in the toasted sesame oil and the cooked chicken you set aside earlier.
- Ladle this masterpiece into four massive bowls. Top each one with a heavy handful of sliced scallions. DUNZO!
