Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, combine 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil. Heat over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until the oils shimmer in the pan.
- Add 2 cups of thinly sliced yellow onion, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 inch of ginger cut into matchsticks, and the white parts of 6 sliced green onions to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Pour in 8 cups of chicken broth, followed by 3 tablespoons of tamari, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, ½ teaspoon of turmeric, and ½ teaspoon of ground coriander. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and ½ cup of uncooked jasmine rice to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for approximately 20 minutes.
- Carefully remove the chicken thighs from the pot and let them cool slightly. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return to the pot.
- Stir in 3 cups of chopped baby bok choy and the green parts of the sliced green onions to the soup. Simmer uncovered for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Add the juice of ½ lime to the soup, stirring well. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each serving with toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, and optionally chili oil. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes
For a richer broth, consider using bone-in chicken thighs. Adjust seasoning towards the end of cooking as broth and tamari can vary in saltiness.
