  • Place lid on pot and turn on high. Let it come to a boil, give it a stir, and reduce to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook for about 6 minutes.

  • Serve topped with remaining scallions, cilantro and peanuts, with a lime slice to squeeze if desired.

Notes

If you are adding chicken, make sure it's sliced nice and thin so it cooks quickly.
