Salt Flavored Noodle Soup

Instructions
1
Prep
Trim the chicken breast of any visible fat. Mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the scallions and bamboo shoot.
2
Simmer
Combine the chicken stock and kombu in a pot over medium heat, bring to a bare simmer for 5 minutes, then remove the kombu.
3
Poach
Lower the chicken into the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and poach for 12 minutes until the thickest part reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
4
Rest
Lift the chicken onto a plate and let rest for 5 minutes until cool, then slice into thin strips.
5
Build
Boil noodles separately for 3 to 4 minutes until tender but springy. Stir garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp salt into the broth over low heat for 1 minute.
6
Plate
Place noodles in a deep bowl, ladle hot broth over them, and top with sliced chicken, bamboo shoot, spinach, and scallions.
