Oregano provides a similar herbal note.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and season it with savory salt and momo soy sauce.

Place the whole chicken into the boiling water.

Cover the pot with a lid and let it boil for about 35-40 minutes.

After boiling, turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the water to continue cooking and cool down.

Remove the chicken from the pot and let it drain while cooling.

Take the breast meat off the bone and set it aside for serving.

Prepare rice by using broth in a microwavable bowl, cooking it uncovered for 8 minutes, then covering it for an additional 2 minutes.

Add vegetables like mushrooms, scallions, and potato to the broth in the pot.

Tear and add noodles directly to the soup, celebrating their irregularity.

Before serving, add the chicken back into the soup to avoid overcooking it.
