4 Method Steps

  • Place chicken (1.6kg Coles RSPCA Approved Australian Whole Chicken), spring onion (4 spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths), ginger (5cm-piece ginger, thickly sliced), garlic (2 garlic cloves, crushed), soy sauce (1/3 cup (80ml) light soy sauce), Chinese cooking wine (1/3 cup (80ml) Chinese cooking wine) and half the oil (2 tsp sesame oil) in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to the pan to cover chicken. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook, uncovered, skimming foam from surface occasionally, for 2 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and meat is falling off the bone.

  • Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a heatproof bowl. Set aside to cool slightly. Use 2 forks to shred the meat, discarding the skin and bones.

  • Meanwhile, strain the cooking liquid through a sieve into a clean saucepan. Discard solids. Place over medium heat. Add the rice (1/3 cup (65g) jasmine rice). Cook for 15 mins or until rice is tender. Return the chicken to the pan with the buk choy (1 bunch baby buk choy, sliced lengthways), choy sum (1 bunch baby choy sum, cut into 5cm lengths), extra ginger (5cm-piece ginger, extra, peeled, cut into matchsticks) and the remaining oil. Season.

  • Divide the soup evenly among serving bowls.

How many calories in Chinese chicken noodle soup?

Technically this dish should serve 4, however, my boyfriend and I are monsters so when I make this it serves 2! If you’re eating this as 4 servings, each serving is about 320 calories. If you’re eating this as 2 servings, each serving is about 640.

Of course this highly depends on the actual ingredients (ex: chicken broth, noodles, cooking oil/fat of choice) you choose, so be sure to do some calculations beforehand if you want to be super exact.

How to make Asian chicken noodle soup

Ingredients

  • 32 oz of chicken broth
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 oz baby spinach
  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 egg (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil / fat of choice
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thigh
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • Salt, as desired

Instructions

Prep ingredients first. Season chicken with salt, chop scallions, slice mushrooms.

Heat chicken broth in a soup pan on high heat. While waiting for this to boil, you can also make the noodles and the chicken. But pay attention to the chicken broth because once boiling, lower heat and add mushrooms and spinach.

In another pot, follow the rice noodles instructions for cooking. (For the one I use, I heat up about 4 quarts of boiling salted water and cook for about 5 minutes or until noodles are softened to liking.) If you choose to add an egg to this dish, feel free to poach your egg along with the noodles, but make sure to be careful when cooking it so you don’t accidentally destroy it! Drain and remove from water, set aside.

Heat up a cooking pan on medium high heat, add cooking oil / fat of choice. Add the chicken thighs and let it cook on one side undisturbed for 5 minutes. Flip chicken and continue to cook for 7 minutes, or until no longer pink and then remove from heat. If you want to have it cook a little faster or just to confirm chicken is cooked thoroughly – you can slice it a little (not all the way thru).
