Ingredients
  

  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and smashed
  • 2" piece ginger peeled and sliced
  • 2 green onions whites cut in 2 large pieces/greens chopped
  • Handful of cilantro stems
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder/concentrate
  • 1-2 dashes soy sauce
  • 1-2 dashes fish sauce
  • 1 lime halved
  • Cooked rice
  • Shredded/grilled chicken
  • Garnish: chili oil, green onions, sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • To a french press, add smashed garlic cloves, sliced ginger, whites from the green onion, cilantro stems, bouillon, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Cover with boiling water and let steep for 12-15 minutes.
  • Add a scoop of rice (I used leftover rice!) and some chicken (I used sliced rotisserie chicken) to each bowl.
  • Press the soup down in the french press carefully, and pour the broth over the chicken and rice.
  • Squeeze the juice of half a lime on top of each bowl, then top with chili oil, and the chopped green onions. You can also add an extra splash of soy sauce if you prefer it saltier.
