👨‍🍳 Fremgangsmåde

1
Prepare the spice paste: In a food processor or blender, combine the chopped turmeric, galangal, shallots, garlic, candlenuts (if using), toasted coriander seeds, and white peppercorns. Add a tablespoon or two of water or oil to help it blend into a smooth paste. Alternatively, pound the ingredients using a mortar and pestle until smooth.
⏱️ 15 minutes
2
Sauté the spice paste: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (approx. 175°C / 350°F if frying). Add the spice paste and sauté, stirring frequently, until it becomes very fragrant and slightly darkened, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
⏱️ 7 minutes
3
Cook the chicken and make broth: Add the whole chicken to the pot with the sautéed spice paste. Pour in the water, add the bay leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface during the initial boiling.
⏱️ 1 hour
4
Shred the chicken and strain the broth: Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the pot and set aside to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, shred the chicken meat using two forks, discarding the bones and skin. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot or bowl, discarding the solids (lemongrass, leaves, etc.). Season the broth with salt to taste.
⏱️ 15 minutes
5
Prepare noodles and vegetables: While the chicken is cooling, prepare the glass noodles by soaking them in warm water until pliable, then drain. Blanch the bean sprouts and shredded cabbage in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then drain. Hard-boil the eggs and peel them.
6
Assemble and serve: To serve, place a portion of soaked glass noodles, blanched bean sprouts, and cabbage in each serving bowl. Ladle the hot, fragrant turmeric broth over the noodles and vegetables. Top with shredded chicken, halved hard-boiled eggs, and a sprinkle of fried shallots and fresh celery leaves or cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges and chili sauce on the side for guests to customize their soup.
