Ingredients
Method
In large nonstick skillet, heat half of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat; cook chicken, turning once, until browned all over, about 8 minutes.Transfer chicken to parchment paper– lined baking sheet; brush with hoisin sauce. Roast in 400°F (200°C) oven until no longer pink inside, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool enough to handle; thinly slice and set aside.
Cook noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in large saucepan, heat remaining vegetable oil over medium heat; cook ginger, garlic, cilantro stems and five-spice powder, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add broth, soy sauce and 2 cups water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, discard ginger, garlic and cilantro stems. Stir in bok choy; simmer until softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
To serve, divide noodles, bok choy, broth mixture and chicken among 4 bowls. Sprinkle with green onions and chopped cilantro; drizzle with sesame oil.
