Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 200 grams rice noodles
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 inch piece ginger, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges
- 1 piece red chili pepper, thinly sliced
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken breast. Place it in a pot with 6 cups of chicken broth. Add the sliced ginger and minced garlic.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
While the chicken is cooking, soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they become pliable, then drain.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool just enough to handle. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using forks.
Add the fish sauce and soy sauce to the broth. Taste the broth and add salt and black pepper to adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Divide the soaked rice noodles into bowls. Top each with shredded chicken.
Pour the hot broth over the noodles and chicken to warm them and allow them to soak in the flavors.
Garnish each bowl with mung bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, green onions, and slices of red chili pepper.
Serve the soup hot with lime wedges on the side. Squeeze lime juice into the soup before enjoying.
