Ingredients

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces
1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp (30 ml) low-sodium soy sauce
8 cups (2 litres) low-sodium chicken broth
14 oz (400 g) konjac noodles, rinsed and drained (see note)

Preparation

In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the chicken in the oil. Add the ginger and garlic. Cook for 1 minute while stirring. Pour in the soy sauce. Let reduce until almost dry, stirring constantly. Add the broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Add the noodles and lettuce to the pot. Cook for 2 minutes or until the noodles are al dente. Add the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Note from Ricardo

Konjac is a tropical Asian plant with digestive properties. Noodles made from konjac are very filling, gluten-free, relatively rich in fibre and stay firm once cooked. They can be found in various formats in most grocery stores among the Asian or gluten-free products.
