Step 1
In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium-high. Add 1 lb chicken breast and cook until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Add 1 sliced onion (if using) and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 1 sliced red bell pepper. Cook until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Return chicken to the pot. Add 6 cups chicken broth, 1 inch sliced ginger, and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Add 4 oz curly noodles and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Shred the chicken with two forks.
Step 6
Stir in 4 sliced green onions and 0.25 cup chopped cilantro. Season with black pepper and optional chili flakes. Serve hot.
Step 7
Garnish with extra cilantro and a sprinkle of black sesame seeds if desired.
