Instructions
For the Soup
- Heat a pan to medium, add oil and minced garlic.1 tbsp Garlic (minced)
- Add your chicken and brown on all sides before adding Chicken broth and water.1 32oz Chicken Broth, 8 cups Water, 3 lbs Chicken or 1 Rotisserie chicken
- Add onions, shallots, and ginger into the pot. Then add Totole Chicken Powder, Mushroom Seasoning, Fish Sauce, and Salt.2 Onions, 1 Shallots, 1 tbsp Totole Chicken Powder, 1 tbsp Mushroom Seasoning, 2 tbsp Fish Sauce, 1 tbsp Salt, 1 slice Ginger
- Bring to a boil and simmer for around 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove the chicken into a bowl to cool down, and dispose of the aromatics.
- Once the chicken has cooled down, shred the chicken and set aside.
Making the Noodles
- Combine Rice Flour and Tapioca Starch (reserve 2-3 tablespoon for dusting) into a mixing bowl. Mix well.1 16oz Bag of Tapioca Starch plus additional for dusting, 1 16oz Bag of Rice Flour
- Bring water to a rapid boil, and combine with the flour mixture 2 cups at a time. The water must be boiling hot when added to the flour mix or the noodles will break apart while cooking.5.5 cups Boiling Hot Water
- Use a spatula or rice paddle to combine the flour with water. Optionally, you can also use a stand mixer to mix the dough together. The dough will look a little clumpy and dry and thats totally fine. If the dough is too smooth and soft, the noodles will deteriorate when cooking.
- Once the dough has slightly cooled enough to handle with your hands, Prepare a clean working space. Divide the dough in half or thirds , and dust the dough and working space with tapioca starch.
- Roll out the dough into a long rectangular shape about ¼" thick. To make the cutting easier, you can fold the dough in half lengthwise.
- My favorite way to cut the dough is using a dough cutter. It cuts quickly and doesn't stick the way a knife or pizza cutter sometimes can.
- Place the cuts around ¼" apart to form a square shaped noodle.
- Once the noodles are cut, dust again with tapioca starch and set aside. Repeat until all the noodles are fully cut.
Prepare the Garnishes
- Wash and cut the green onion and cilantro if using¼ bundle Cilantro, 3 stalks Green onions
Cooking the noodles
- Pour about 3 cups of soup broth into a smaller pot. Bring to a boil and add the noodles in. Cook for 3 minutes. At the 3 minute mark the noodles will have a bit of foam come to the top of the soup. Skim out the foam and the noodles are ready.
- Transfer the noodles and soup into a bowl and garnish with chicken, green onions, cilantro, Fried Garlic and Chili oil (optional)
