Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken thighs — For a healthier option, you can use skinless chicken breast instead of thighs. However, keep in mind that chicken breast tends to be drier, so be careful not to overcook it.
- Long rice noodles — Be sure to follow the package instructions for cooking the noodles, as different brands may have different cooking times. Rinse the cooked noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking together.
Tips & Tricks
- To add an extra kick of flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped cilantro or Thai basil on top before serving.
- If you prefer a spicier soup, add a few slices of red chili pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the broth.
- For a heartier meal, you can add additional vegetables such as bok choy or mushrooms.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors tend to develop and intensify over time, making it even more delicious the next day.
- This soup can be easily customized by adding your favorite vegetables or protein options such as shrimp or tofu.
Serving advice
Serve the Hawaiian Chicken Long Rice hot in individual bowls, garnished with sliced green onions. Accompany it with a side of steamed white rice or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, arrange the cooked long rice noodles neatly at the bottom of each bowl before ladling the hot soup over them. Garnish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil for an added touch of elegance.
