Chicken Long Rice (Hawaiian-Style Chicken Soup)

This is my favorite dish of all time. This is also a great winter comfort food and great for flu season. Serve over steamed rice.

Step: 1

Put bean thread noodles in a large bowl. Pour enough warm water over the noodles to cover by an inch. Soak noodles until softened, about 15 minutes; drain. Cut noodles into shorter lengths as desired.

Step: 2

Put chicken breasts in a large pot with enough water to cover by a few inches; bring to a boil and cook chicken until until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step: 3

Remove chicken breasts to a cutting board and shred into strands with 2 forks; return shredded chicken to the pot of boiling water.

Step: 4

Pour chicken broth into the pot and reduce heat to medium-high; add onion, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, and bay leaves; season with salt and pepper. Bring liquid again to a boil and add the bean thread noodles; cook at a boil until the noodles are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step: 5

Stir bok choy into the liquid; cook just until the leaves wilt slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.

The word “stew” can refer to both a dish and a make dishes method. Stewing involves slowly cooking chunks of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s similar to braising, but it does have a few notable differences. The meat is chopped into few of pieces but of being cooked all of it , and the water based material all of it covers the contents in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking eating process that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s right that ; a bowl of classic beef stew does have warming featured food , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together creates the ultimate comfort food, no matter the weather.
