Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Prepare the Broth: Into a stock pot over high heat, place the Bone-in, Skin-on Chicken Thighs (4) and cover with 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Skim off any impurities or foam that rise to the surface.
step 2
Add the Onion (1), Fresh Ginger (2 in), Scallions (4), Thai Chili Peppers (4), Galangal (1 in), Lemongrass (3 stalks), and Kaffir Lime Leaves (4) to the pot. Simmer gently for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the broth is aromatic.
step 3
Remove the chicken thighs from the pot and set aside to cool slightly.
step 4
Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Return the clear broth to the pot.
step 5
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat from the bones and set it aside. Discard the bones and skin.
step 6
Stir the juice from the Limes (2) and Fish Sauce (1 Tbsp) into the strained broth. Taste and adjust the Kosher Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) as needed.
step 7
Prepare the Rice Noodles (as needed) according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
step 8
Divide the cooked rice noodles into serving bowls. Top each bowl with soup and sprinkle the Scallions (to taste) and chopped Fresh Cilantro (to taste) over each bowl.
step 9
Serve immediately with extra Limes (to taste) and fish sauce on the side for customization.
