Method
In a large saucepan, combine turkey stock, chicken stock, ginger slices, bruised garlic, bruised scallions, and sliced chili.
Bring the stock to a low boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir in the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and white pepper.
Place eggs in a small saucepan of cold water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-6 minutes for jammy yolks.
Add the broccoli florets, sliced bok choy, shredded brussels sprouts, and julienned carrots to the egg water during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain the vegetables through a colander. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut in half.
Boil the instant noodles in a separate pot of water according to package instructions, usually about 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
Add the shredded turkey to the simmering broth and heat until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Divide the cooked noodles into four serving bowls. Add a small ladle of broth to each bowl to coat the noodles, then arrange the turkey, vegetables, and halved eggs on top.
Ladle the remaining hot broth into the bowls. Garnish with sliced scallions, fresh chili, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of chili oil.
Chef's Notes
- For a more complex broth flavor, consider toasting the ginger and garlic slices lightly before adding them to the stock.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when blanching the vegetables; cook them in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and vibrant color.
- The chili oil is crucial for adding a layer of aromatic heat and richness. Use a good quality store-bought chili oil or make your own for superior flavor.
- Adjust the Shaoxing wine and soy sauce to your preference. A splash of dark soy sauce can add a deeper color to the broth if desired.
- Ensure the turkey is heated through to a safe internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) before serving to guarantee it's properly cooked.
Storage
Refrigerator: 72 hours — Store broth and solid components separately to prevent noodles from absorbing all liquid.
Reheating: Reheat broth until boiling on the stovetop; add noodles and turkey for 1 minute to warm through.
