Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the chicken breast and cook until fully cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In the same pot, add a little oil if necessary, and sauté the sliced onion, minced garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Build the Soup Base

    Add the bruised lemongrass and fish sauce to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth again and bring it to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook the Noodles

    Add the rice noodles to the pot and cook according to package instructions until tender, about 4-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the chopped cilantro and sliced green onions. Serve hot with lime wedges and sliced chili peppers on the side.
