Ingredients for Chicken Noodle Soup

  • 1 packet Chicken flavored Instant Noodle
  • 2 small pieces Chicken, with skin removed
  • 2 cups Water, to boil instant noodle
  • 2 cups Water, for chicken broth
  • 1 cup Bean Sprouts, washed and with roots removed
  • 2 stalks Sawi (kai choy / Chinese mustard green), chopped into pieces about 2 inch in length
  • a dash Pepper, optional
  • 4 slices Ginger, for boiling with chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt, for boiling with chicken

Instructions

  1. Boil the instant noodle with 2 cups of water, but without the spice mixture. Just before it comes to a boil, remove from fire and drain all the water. Put the noodle aside while you prepare the chicken broth. As mentioned in my earlier recipe, you want to remove all traces of any coloring substance from the instant noodle. It is not healthy. So make it a habit of doing this all the time. For this recipe, I use instant rice vermicelli noodles. You can also use the egg instant noodles.
  2. In a separate pot, boil the chicken pieces and ginger with 2 cups of water. Add salt and if required pepper. When the chicken is cooked, add the noodle, sawi and bean sprouts to the mixture. Continue to boil for another minute
  3. Then add the spice mixture and continue to boil for half a minute.
  4. Pour this noodle mixture into a bowl and serve while it is still hot. If required add a bit of pepper for another flavoring.
  5. For a truly Malaysian feel to this Chicken Noodle Soup, add a few slices of fresh red chilies, then serve in bowls with chopsticks.
