Savior Chicken Soup with Pac Choy What cured my cold? Plump chunks of chicken mingled with deep green and crunchy white local Pac Choy from Woven Roots Farm, a relative of bok choy — all simmered in an Asian inflected soup with a little kick. Add to a wok: a little oil, a small bunch local scallions , green and white, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, 1 teaspoon or more grated ginger, 1 sliced garlic clove. Stir over high heat with 1 pound chicken thighs (large cubes) and a bunch of chopped Pac Choy, both green and white or 30 seconds. Add 3-4 cups homemade chicken stock with with goodies in it — chopped cilantro, tiny splash of soy, hot sauce, sesame seeds and cornstarch (about 1 super heaping tablespoon or more, if you like). Swirl and add to wok. Simmer at a low boil, JUST until chicken is cooked through and soup is slightly thickened. Add salt and/or a few drops of rice wine vinegar, if needed. It works!
