Ingredient info:
Step 1
Cut 1 bunch scallions into 1" pieces; thinly slice remaining bunch of scallions and set aside. Bring 12 cups water to a brisk simmer in a large stockpot and add scallions, kombu, ginger, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon salt; cook until kombu is softened, 10–15 minutes.
Step 2
Add chicken to pot and reduce heat so liquid is at a very gentle simmer. Poach chicken, uncovered, until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 160°F, 40–45 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool.
Step 3
Meanwhile, increase heat to mediumhigh and bring poaching liquid to a boil; cook until reduced by half, 30–45 minutes. Fish out scallions, ginger, and star anise from pot with a slotted spoon and discard. Add noodles to poaching liquid and cook according to package instructions. Drain and toss in a large bowl with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
Step 4
Combine kale, sugar, a pinch of salt, and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a medium bowl and massage kale, rubbing between your fingers, until softened and shiny, about 30 seconds. Add vinegar, rice noodles, reserved sliced scallions, 1 tablespoon furikake, and remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and toss to combine; season with salt.
Step 5

Do Ahead
Step 6
Chicken can be poached 1 day ahead; let cool, cover and chill chicken and liquid separately. Bring to room temperature before slicing. Noodle mixture can be made 3 hours ahead; store at room temperature. Moisten with more soy sauce and vinegar before serving.

Back to TopI liked this recipe tho the poaching liquid was the star for me. I will probably do chicken thighs next time as the whole chicken didn't have much flavor. Almost a distraction. Some chicken in the noodles would be fine. All in all.. quite good.

Hey this was great, and refreshingly healthy. Substituted 1/2 TBSP Chinese Five-Spice Powder for the anise pods, and a 1/2 TBSP toasted sesame seeds for the furikake. I'd recommend a cheesecloth spice bag for the peppercorns so you don't have to fish them out, which is time consuming. Otherwise perfect.

I liked this a lot, although I might bump up the kombu and peppercorns, and down the star anise next time.

After reading the reviews on this, it sounded like it would be so tasty. I got all of the ingredients except for chili oil and went home to make it. It ended up being far too salty for me and just didn't really have a nice depth of flavor, just tasted fishy and salty. Disappointing since it sounded so good, I would not make this dish again.

I rarely review a recipe but this one is too amazing not to promote! I am only disappointed that I couldn't find kombu and therefore omitted it. I'm sure the depth of flavor would have been even more complex and wonderful. For simplicity, I used bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts which worked beautifully. I also used wheat noodles. "Chinese Noodles" on the package. I'm not really a fan of rice noodles. I did find Furikake and am so glad I did. The flavor was incredible! Do not skip the step of rubbing the oil into the kale. It softens it perfectly.

Oustanding. I completely agree with the previous reviewer that this turned out better than I imagined. I like heat, so we added house-pickled jalepeno and serranos on top (slice peppers and soak in mix of black vinegar and rice vinegar with a bit of fish sauce and soy sauce). Can't wait to make again.

This dish ended up being a lot better than I expected it to be. The broth was amazing, and the entire dish was very favorful. I substituted baby kale and it turned out great.
