Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 2 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Ginger (fresh, sliced into thin rounds)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 8 ounces Vermicelli noodles (cellophane or glass noodles)
• 3 stalks Green onions (sliced, green parts only)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the vermicelli noodles by soaking them in a large bowl of warm water for about 20 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the chicken thighs, chicken broth, water, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the chicken for about 25–30 minutes or until it is cooked through and tender.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the pot. Allow it to cool slightly, then shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Set the chicken aside.

Step 5

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the ginger and garlic pieces. Return the broth to the pot.

Step 6

Season the broth with soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 7

Add the drained vermicelli noodles to the pot and cook for 5–7 minutes or until they are tender and translucent.

Step 8

Return the shredded chicken to the pot and let it heat through for 2–3 minutes.

Step 9

Ladle Chicken Long Rice into bowls, and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!
