Instructions

1. Prepare the broth: In a medium pot, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat. Stir in the ginseng powder or open the capsules and add the contents. Allow the ginseng to infuse for 5 minutes.

2. Cook the noodles: While the broth simmers, cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. Sauté aromatics: Heat the sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).

4. Add vegetables: Toss the carrot and bok choy into the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant.

5. Combine: Pour the broth into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavours.

6. Assemble: Divide the cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle the hot ginseng-infused broth and vegetables over the noodles.

7. Garnish: Top with green onion, sesame seeds, and a soft-boiled egg if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

• For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and skip the oyster sauce.

• Adjust ginseng quantity based on your taste or consult with your doctor if you’re unsure about herbal consumption.

• Pair with a jasmine tea for a truly revitalizing experience!
