Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe (Súp Nui Gà)
Description
The Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe (Súp Nui Gà) features a clear broth made by simmering chicken with onion, salt, sugar, and optional monosodium glutamate (MSG) to enhance umami flavors. The chicken is cooked until tender and then shredded. Meanwhile, elbow macaroni is boiled until just firm. Serving involves combining the pasta with chicken shreds and ladling the aromatic broth over them. Garnishes of chopped cilantro and scallions bring freshness, and sambal chili paste adds an optional spicy element. This soup captures a blend of mild sweetness, savory depth, and herbal brightness, characteristic of Vietnamese home-style cooking, providing a satisfying meal with straightforward preparation and wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 lb chicken preferred or 3 pounds of boneless chicken, bone-in
- 1 onion or 2 medium sized onions, quartered, large yellow or white
- 2 tbsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp monosodium glutamate optional, MSG
- 16 oz elbow macaroni dried
Garnish
- cilantro chopped
- scallion chopped
- sambal chile paste
Instructions
- Add chicken, onion, salt, sugar, and MSG into a large pot. Add enough water to cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. It should take about 10-15 minutes of simmering to finish.
- Meanwhile, boil your macaroni in a separate pot of water until al dente, then drain.
- Check the doneness of the chicken as each 1-2 minutes pass. The chicken should be white in the center and have the juices run clear. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Remove chicken, let it cool, then pull into shreds with your fingers or a fork.
- Add to a bowl macaroni, some broth, chicken, and garnish with chopped cilantro and scallion. Top with sambal and serve!
