How to Make Asian Chicken Meatball Rice Noodle Soup
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Finely chop 1 scallion; slice the remaining 2 scallions into 1-inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the chopped scallion (1), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1 pound ground chicken, 1/2 pound ground pork, and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Mix well.
- Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, bring 6 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 2 star anise, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender and hydrated.
- Remove the star anise.
- Add 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 bunch bok choy (chopped), and the baked meatballs. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Cook 8 ounces rice noodles according to package directions. Drain.
- Divide the noodles evenly among 6 large bowls.
- Thinly slice the cooked mushrooms. Arrange the carrots, bok choy, mushrooms, and meatballs on top of the noodles in each bowl.
- Ladle the broth over the noodles and toppings.
- Garnish with the remaining sliced scallions and serve immediately.
