Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp ginger, grated
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 200 g rice noodles
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Heat aromatics: Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. This step helps to release the essential flavors into the oil.
- Prepare the broth: Pour in the chicken broth and water into the pot. Add the soy sauce and rice vinegar, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. This forms the savory and tangy base of the soup.
- Add chicken and noodles: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and rice noodles. Let everything cook together for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the noodles have softened to your preference.
- Serve and garnish: Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges to add fresh, zesty brightness to the dish.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken to save time—leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken works great.
- Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your taste for saltiness.
- For a spicier version, add sliced chili or a dash of chili oil when simmering the broth.
- Rice noodles cook quickly; avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Fresh lime juice added right before serving enhances the soup’s brightness.
