Instructions

- In the same pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, then add the sliced carrots and chopped green onions. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then carefully add them to the simmering broth. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Set aside to keep warm.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the eggs. Boil for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 9-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Once done, peel and set aside.

- Feel free to customize with other vegetables like spinach, bok choy, or mushrooms.
- To make the broth richer, consider simmering it with a piece of kombu (dried seaweed) or adding miso paste.
