Hawaiian Chicken Long Rice
Description
This recipe for Hawaiian Chicken Long Rice uses chicken broth combined with soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sugar to create a fragrant and flavorful base. Boneless, skinless chicken thighs are simmered in this broth until tender, imparting richness to the liquid.
Meanwhile, bean thread noodles—known by many names such as glass or cellophane noodles—are softened in warm water. Once the chicken is cooked and shredded, the noodles are added to the broth and cooked further until translucent, making for a light, clear noodle soup. The broth can be adjusted with additional chicken stock to achieve preferred soupiness.
The dish is finished with optional soy sauce seasoning and garnished with sliced green onions. It delivers a subtle balance of savory, sweet, and aromatic ginger and garlic flavors, with the translucent noodles contrasting tender chicken. This soup can be a simple, soothing meal or part of a larger Hawaiian-style menu.
Ingredients
- 32 ounces chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons ginger peeled and grated
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 pound chicken thighs boneless, skinless
- 8 ounces bean thread noodles (aka cellophane noodles)
- 1/4 cup green onion sliced
- Hawaiian Sea Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- In a large stockpot, combine the chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sugar.
- Bring to a boil and add chicken thighs. Reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
- In the meantime, place bean thread noodles in a large bowl and pour warm water over them. Enough to cover the noodles completely. You just want them to start loosening up. Set aside until chicken and broth is done cooking.
- When chicken is cooked through use a slotted spoon to remove from the broth (do not discard the broth) and shred. Skim any grease or foam from the broth and then return chicken to the broth.
- Stir noodles into the broth and simmer another 5 minutes or until noodles are soft and translucent. Add more chicken broth if needed if you like the noodles to be more "soup" like.
- Add more soy sauce to taste (optional) and garnish with green onion.
Notes
- Bean thread noodles are also known as glass noodles, cellophane noodles, or bean vermicelli, and turn clear when cooked.
- These noodles are commonly available at Asian markets and sometimes at general grocery stores.
- To prepare green onions efficiently, consider cutting multiple stalks at once with kitchen shears.
