👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid. Remove stems and thinly slice the mushroom caps.
- 2
Prepare the omelet: Heat 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook until set. Flip and cook for another minute. Let cool, then thinly slice or cut into small squares.
- 3
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced shallots and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and optional chilies and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the chicken thighs to the pot and sear on all sides until lightly browned. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, bruised lemongrass, sliced galangal, and torn makrut lime leaves. Stir to combine.
- 5
Pour in the chicken broth and the reserved mushroom soaking liquid (strained to remove any sediment). Add the cubed potatoes, fish sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- 6
While the soup simmers, prepare the glass noodles according to package instructions. Typically, this involves soaking them in hot water until softened. Drain well.
- 7
Add the softened glass noodles to the simmering soup. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the noodles are heated through and have absorbed some of the broth.
- 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with more fish sauce or salt if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has chicken, noodles, potatoes, and mushrooms. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onions. Serve hot, with jaew kapi on the side if desired.
