Ingredients

• 1 piece chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 200 grams rice noodles
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 inch piece ginger, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 cup mung bean sprouts
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 piece lime, cut into wedges
• 1 piece red chili pepper, thinly sliced
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken breast. Place it in a pot with 6 cups of chicken broth. Add the sliced ginger and minced garlic.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, soak the rice noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they become pliable, then drain.

Step 4

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool just enough to handle. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using forks.

Step 5

Add the fish sauce and soy sauce to the broth. Taste the broth and add salt and black pepper to adjust the seasoning according to your preference.

Step 6

Divide the soaked rice noodles into bowls. Top each with shredded chicken.

Step 7

Pour the hot broth over the noodles and chicken to warm them and allow them to soak in the flavors.

Step 8

Garnish each bowl with mung bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, green onions, and slices of red chili pepper.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot with lime wedges on the side. Squeeze lime juice into the soup before enjoying.
