Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a 4-5 quart pot, combine chicken thighs, sliced garlic, chopped ginger, scallion whites, kosher salt, and black pepper. Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients completely. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for about 15 minutes until the chicken is tender and fully cooked at 165°F.
  3. Mix black rice vinegar, soy sauce, and toasted sesame oil in a small bowl. Add crispy chili oil for heat if desired.
  4. Remove chicken from the pot and shred it into bite-sized pieces. Return to the broth.
  5. Bring the broth back to a boil, then add ramen noodles and carrot matchsticks. Cook according to noodle package instructions, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper. Stir gently to combine ingredients.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls, top with scallion greens and drizzle the prepared sauce over each bowl. Serve immediately.
