chicken udon noodle soup

i always seem to have cravings for noodle soup... wether it's thai or japanese. i finally made some of my own.

ingredients:

• organic chicken tenders
• chopped ginger(2-3 tbsp)
• chopped garlic(2-3 big cloves)
• 1 chili pepper chopped
• 1 big shallot chopped
• herb salt seasoning by a. vogel("herbamare asian blend" found at whole foods)
• 1 box of chicken stock plus half of another box
• half a head of cut up brocolli 
• 1 bell pepper cut up
• 1 package of udon noodles(pre cooked)
• tamari(soy sauce)
• sake(maybe 1/4 cup)
• fish sauce(8 shakes, depending on your liking)
• juice from half a lime
• miso paste 1 tbsp(i used brown) 

toppings:

• scallions
• cilantro
• siracha

-first i sauteed the chicken tenders for a few minutes in coconut oil and once i flipped them i added the ginger, garlic, chili pepper, and shallot
-i added herb salt seasoning to taste. once the chicken was cooked through, i set it aside and cut the chicken into bite size pieces.
-then i boiled the chicken stock and added brocolli and green pepper until they were tender but not too soft.
-set aside veggies
-boiled noodles 2 mins(that's all they take), turned the heat to low and added the tamari, fish sauce, sake, lime juice and miso paste(you have to take some of the broth in a small bowl and whisk the miso paste until it dissolves and add back into the pot)
-then i threw the chicken mixture into the pot and served
-top with scallions, cilantro, and siracha(til my nose runs)
SOOOO GOOD.
