Introduction
A comforting Vietnamese chicken noodle soup featuring a clear, aromatic broth infused with charred ginger and shallots, served with tender chicken, flat rice noodles, and a vibrant herb platter.
Step 1
Rub salt thoroughly over the chicken skin, then rinse under cold running water to remove odors.
Step 2
Stuff 1 spring onion and 2 slices of ginger into the chicken's cavity for extra flavor.
Step 3
Place the stuffed chicken in a large pot with 4 liters of water, 1 tbsp salt, and 1 tsp chicken stock powder. Bring it to a boil.
Step 4
As the water comes to a boil, constantly skim off the foam and impurities rising to the top to keep the broth clear.
Step 5
Add 1 peeled medium yellow onion to the pot. Lower the heat to medium and simmer gently for 30 to 60 minutes depending on your chicken.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Constantly skimming off the foam during the initial boil is essential for achieving a crystal clear broth.
Rinsing the boiled noodles under cold water stops the cooking process, while the subsequent hot water rinse helps them dry faster and prevents clumping.
Adding the aroma spice bag only 30 minutes before serving preserves a fresh, vibrant fragrance without making the broth bitter.
Soaking the sliced yellow onions in cold water removes their sharp, pungent bite while keeping them crisp.
Returning the chicken bones to the pot after deboning extracts every bit of flavor for a richer broth.
