Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat sesame oil in soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and ginger; increase heat to high and sauté briefly to release aroma.

  2. 2

    Add broth and frozen spinach. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until spinach is thawed, about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cut chicken into thin shreds or 3/4-inch chunks. Slice scallions.

  4. 4

    When spinach has thawed, stir the soup, then add chicken and noodles. Cover and simmer until noodles and chicken are cooked, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add scallions (or coriander) and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, passing toasted sesame seeds for sprinkling over each portion.
