Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup
Vietnamese chicken noodle soup recipe
What makes this chicken noodle soup taste so good is the use of roasted chicken meat instead of regular boneless chicken breasts. The broth tastes like it’s been simmering in a barbecue pit; intense and smoky! Add a little fish sauce, julienned ginger strips and chiles and you have a bowl of savory Asian street food at your doorsteps. I had planned on making the broth from scratch but forgot to hold on to the carcass after cooking ( I get overly excited with cleaning the fridge the night before garbage day), so I am using store bought low sodium chicken stock instead. However I highly recommend making the broth yourself if you know how to, for an even more chicken-y taste! Pair this with an easy spicy garlice fried rice for a complete Thai dinner!
