Instructions
-
In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the scallions, garlic, carrot, mushrooms, and cabbage. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until the vegetables soften.
-
Stir in the ginger and brown sugar (if using) and cook for 30 seconds. Finally, add the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
-
While the broth is simmering, bring a pot of water to a boil. Set a bowl of cold ice water nearby.
-
Use a slotted spoon to gently lower the eggs, still in the shell, into the water. Simmer for 7 minutes for eggs that are soft and a little runny in the center, or 9 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
-
Transfer the eggs to the bowl of cold water and set aside until ready to serve.
-
Return the pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes, or according to the package directions, until tender. Drain in a colander.
-
Divide the noodles among 4 large bowls. Ladle the broth and vegetables over the noodles. Remove the eggs from the ice water.
-
Tap the shells with a spoon to crack and then peel off the shells. Pat the eggs dry and cut them in half. Top each bowl with the egg halves and the sliced chicken.
-
Serve with soy sauce, hot sauce, cilantro leaves, and lime wedges.
