- 2 tbsp. granulated chicken stock
- 1 Onion (peeled and halved)
- 2 cloves of garlic (peeled)
- 70 g fresh ginger (cut into thick slices)
- 2 stalks of lemongrass

Instructions
For the broth:
- Boil water.
- Add all ingredients to the boiling water and simmer for at least 1.5 hours.
For the Noodles:
- Mix rice flour, tapioca starch and sticky rice flour.
- Boil the water (this is important because of the bond!). Mix the boiling water with the flour and knead with a food processor until the dough is elastic and easy to roll out.
- Dust the work surface with rice flour and tapioca starch in a ratio of 1: 1.
- Teig halbieren und jeweils zueiner Kugel formen. Eine Hälfte mit einem feuchten Geschirrhandtuch abdecken, damit der Teig nicht austrocknet. Die andere Hälfte mit einem Nudelholz ca. 1 - 2 mm ausrollen.
- Cut the dough into narrow strips (approx. 5 mm) with a sharp knife and hang up to dry.
- Do the same for the second half of the dough.
- Let the noodles simmer in boiling water for a few minutes.
For completion:
- Drain the stock through a sieve into a large saucepan.
- Remove the chicken from skin and bones, then pickl the meat into pieces.
- Cut chilli peppers into fine rings (if necessary remove the seeds beforehand).
- Heat the broth. Place the noodles and meat for each person in a soup plate and pour the hot broth over them. Garnish with herbs and chilli to taste. Season to taste with lime juice, fish or soy sauce.
Notes
Tips and Tricks:
The longer the broth steeps, the better it tastes. I usually cook it in the late afternoon and leaveit to steep in the fridge overnight with all ingredients.
I use chicken legs because they have more fat than the lean breast and therefore give the broth more flavor.
Ihr könnt die Nudeln direkt in der heißen Brühe gar ziehen lassen. Aufgrund des hohen Stärkeanteils in den Nudeln, bindet die Brühe dann allerdings stärker. Wenn Ihr also eine eher flüssige Suppe haben möchtet, solltet ihr die Nudeln separat - wie im Rezept angegeben - in heißem Wasser garen.
It is best to knead the dough with a food processor. Otherwise you will burn your fingers due to the hot water.
It's best to hang them over a clothesline or something similar before cooking. Otherwise the noodle strips might stick together. I helped myself with a broomstick. You can also spice up the soup with vegetables, e.g. fresh bean sprouts, and garnish with fried onions. Since I don't like fried onions, I left them out.
