Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Place the chicken thighs into the pot with the sautéed garlic and ginger, add scallion whites, salt, and enough water to fully submerge the chicken. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together black rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and chili oil to taste.
  4. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred into bite-sized pieces. Add the ramen noodles and carrot matchsticks to the broth, cooking according to package instructions for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir well. Allow the soup to heat through for an additional minute.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, topping with scallion greens and a drizzle of the prepared sauce.
