Instrucțiuni

Wash and dry produce. Halve, peel, and finely chop onion. Trim green beans if necessary; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (to save time, chop a handful of green beans at a time—they don't have to be perfect!). Peel and finely chop garlic. Peel and finely chop ginger. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Zest and quarter lime.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat.

Add onion, green beans, garlic, ginger, and scallion whites; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent and green beans start to soften, 3-4 minutes.

Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid; add to pot with veggies and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Stir in a pinch of chili flakes from your pantry here if you like things spicy (we used ½ tsp; 1 tsp for 4 servings) and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute more.

Stir in soy sauce, stock concentrates, 2½ cups water, and ½ tsp sugar (5 cups water and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings).

Bring to a simmer, then add noodles; cook, stirring occasionally, until noodles are al dente, 5-7 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of lime zest. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Divide soup between bowls. Sprinkle with scallion greens and as much remaining lime zest as you like. Serve with remaining limẻ wedges on the side.
