Instructions
For the Chicken:
- Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl.
- Add the fish sauce, turmeric, salt, garlic, and ginger. Use a spoon or gloved hands (the turmeric will stain) to toss everything together until well combined.
- Set aside for 20-30 minutes.
For the Soup:
- Place the chickpea flour in a medium bowl.
- Slowly add the water while whisking until the chickpea flour has dissolved. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Place a large pot over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Once thoroughly heated and shimmering, add the onions.
- Cook, stirring often, until the onions have softened and are starting to become golden around the edges.
- Add the chicken pieces with the marinade to the pot.
- Continue to cook, stirring often, until the chicken has browned on all sides.
- Stir in the paprika and red chili powder.
- Pour in the chicken stock. Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Season as desired with additional fish sauce and salt.
- Whisk the set aside soaked chickpea flour and slowly pour into the pot while stirring.
- Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk. Season if needed to taste and simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
To Assemble:
- Place the thinly sliced shallots in a medium bowl. Cover with cold water and set aside for 10 minutes. Drain well.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook, stirring often, until just tender.
- Drain, rinse, and divide between four bowls.
- Pour the finished chicken coconut soup over the noodles in each bowl.
