👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the broth aromatics: Char the onion quarters and ginger slices on a dry skillet or over an open flame until lightly browned and fragrant. Roughly chop them.

In a large pot, combine the chicken, water, charred onion, charred ginger, bruised lemongrass, torn kaffir lime leaves, minced garlic, fish sauce, salt, and optional MSG and chicken bouillon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Using bone-in chicken pieces will yield a richer broth. - 3
Remove the chicken from the broth. Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat and set aside. Strain the broth, discarding the solids, and return it to the pot.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Straining the broth ensures a clear soup base. - 4
To make the noodles: In a large bowl, combine the rice flour and tapioca flour. Gradually pour in the boiling water while mixing with a spatula or in a stand mixer with a dough hook until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. You may need to adjust the flour or water slightly.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Using boiling water is crucial for the correct noodle texture. - 5
Dust a clean work surface with rice flour. Knead the dough for about 4 minutes until supple. Roll the dough into a thick log, divide into 8 portions, and roll each portion into a 1/8-inch thick, 6-inch long sheet.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Keep the dough covered with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. - 6
Slice the dough sheets into noodles about 1/4 inch wide. Dust lightly with rice flour to prevent sticking. Keep covered.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: The thickness of the noodles can be adjusted to your preference. - 7
Bring the strained broth back to a rolling boil. Add the fresh noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring minimally, until they float to the surface.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Cook the noodles directly in the broth to thicken it with released starch. - 8
Ladle the soup and noodles into serving bowls. Top with shredded chicken and your desired garnishes like cilantro, green onions, fried garlic, lime wedges, and chili oil.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Serve immediately for the best texture.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓For a quicker version, use rotisserie chicken and store-bought chicken broth, but make the noodles from scratch.
- ✓The ratio of rice flour to tapioca flour can be adjusted for desired noodle chewiness (more tapioca for chewier).
- ✓Charring the onion and ginger is optional but highly recommended for added depth.
