So, I made my own sauce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>3\/4 cup pineapple juice (from 20 oz can of chunks or rings)<\/li><li>1\/4 cup shoyu (soy sauce)<\/li><li>1\/2 cup white wine<\/li><li>2 Tbsp mirin<\/li><li>1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil<\/li><li>2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)<\/li><li>2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 cloves)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Combine all sauce ingredients and set aside. I also adjusted the cooking method, as I like to do, to make the process more efficient (things can happen concurrently when you use the oven!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Roast onions, carrots and chicken (whole thighs, seasoned with salt and pepper) at 425. 10 mins for veggies, add chicken for 12 mins, flip chicken, 12 more mins. &#8220;Deglaze&#8221; baking sheet with 1 cup broth, remove to a dish with carrots and onions. Slice chicken when cooled.<\/li><li>Soak noodles in boiling water 20 mins. Drain, rinse with cold water, cut into shorter lengths and set aside.<\/li><li>Stir-fry bok choi stems and mushrooms (I used fresh shiitakes), in 1 Tbsp coconut oil, in cast iron skillet.<\/li><li>Add bok choy leaves, plus baby corn and bamboo shoots, then sauce. Bring to a simmer, simmer 5 mins. Stir in sliced chicken, cooked onions and carrots with the broth, and green onions. (Note: I omitted tofu and watercress, using 4 heads baby bok choy.) Add salt and pepper to taste.<\/li><li>Serve in bowls over noodle portions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>It was quite delicious. I used less broth so it was more of a stew than a soup. Next time, I might omit the noodles and just serve it over rice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something about this recipe really appealed to me, except for the fact that it calls for 3\/4 cup of sugar &#8211; that&#8217;s more sugar than I prefer to use in desserts!
