OODLES OF NOODLES • EP 9: Miến Gà 🍜🐓 Yes she might look clean and simple but she is definitely not short of pure fragrance and comforting flavours. There are endless varieties of chicken noodle soups out there but Mien Ga is firmly one of my favourites! I actually made a slightly different version of this for a supper club once and it went down a treat! So why not give it go?? The best part has to be the crispy shallots & crispy garlic oil because it takes eating a regular chicken noodle soup to putting you infant of the gateways of heaven. Enjoy! Xxx •Ingredients (makes 3-4 bowls): 2.5 litres water 4-6 free range chicken thighs, with skins & bones 1 small onion, halved 2 carrots, quartered 4 sprigs spring onion, halved 5x 1cm thick slices of ginger 2x 1inch blocks of daikon 1 tsp salt 1 tbsp chicken powder 1 tsp msg 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 cube palm sugar 2 shallots, finely sliced 100ml veggie oil 10-12 garlic cloves, minced Pinch of salt & sugar 200-250g glass vermicelli noodles *After 45mins-1hr gentle simmer, season to taste. I used: 2 tbsp fish sauce 1 tsp pepper •Garnish: -finely sliced spring onion, chillies & coriander -crispy shallots, crispy garlic oil & cracked pepper optional: squeeze of lime ***My bowl is from @madeinjapanuk 🥣 •Tips: -wash your chicken, put in salted boiling water for 2-3mins to draw out all impurities & drain (this cleans chicken properly + keeps broth clear) -start stock pot with cold water and turn heat up -when chicken, aromatics & seasonings are in, bring to gentle simmer for 45mins-1hr for optimal result. -dont get oil too hot for shallots and garlic as you want the fragrance drawn out without burning it too quickly -drain shallots & garlic a minute or 2 before you think it’s ready as the residual heat will keep cooking it. Ie don’t wait until it goes brown otherwise it will burn -soak glass noodles in boiling water for 10 mins, drain & rinse with cold water. Microwave a portion of noodles for 1 minute before adding broth #mienga #oodlesofnoodles #glassnoodles #noodlerecipe #noodles #homecooking #vietnamesefood #vietnamesenoodles #chickensoup #chickennoodlesoup #asiancooking #comfortfood - @itsgnochgnoch
