In a large pot (dutch oven), bring the broth and ginger pieces to a boil over high heat. When boiling, reduce to medium heat and cover to let simmer. After 5 minutes, add the bok choi and carrots, and continue to simmer for 5 minutes more. Then add coconut milk and return to a simmer. After a few more minutes, add the green onions, jalpeno, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice; stir and let simmer for 2 minutes. Add the chicken and noodles and let simmer for 3 minutes. Add the cilantro and cook for another minute to incorporate the whole cilantro leaves into the soup. Dish up and garnish with cilantro and a dash of black pepper.
