Instructions
Prepare the broth
- Put the carcass in a pot. Add ginger and enough cold water to cover the carcass. Bring to a full boil then cover with a lid. Leave to simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Pass the broth through a sieve and discard the solid bits.
Cook the noodles
- Five minutes before the broth is ready, start cooking the noodles. In another pot, bring plenty of water to a full boil. Add noodles and cook them following the instructions on the package (See note 2).
Assemble the bowls
- While waiting, add all the ingredients for the seasonings to each serving bowl. Pour in the broth then add the drained noodles. Place the toppings over the noodles: shredded turkey/chicken, cooked vegetables, preserved mustard stem, and scallions/coriander. Drizzle chili oil over.

- It’s not recommended to cook the noodles in the broth as you don’t want to make the broth starchy.
