This is a regular meal in our house as it’s super easy to prepare, delicious, healthy and I always stretch it into several different meals. With a touch of herbs and spices in the soup, this is also my go to meal whenever we feel under the weather.
In a huge pot, add in chicken, celery sticks, carrots, onion and water. Bring it to a boil. Remove fat and impurities.
Then add in the rest of the soup ingredients, cover the pot and simmer for 40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove the chicken and strain the soup. Discard the rest.
When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones. Cut the meat into small pieces to be served later with the soup.
The Soy Sauce Sambal
In a chopper, add in both chillies and garlics. Blend into a fine paste. Pour it into a bowl and add the rest of the sambal ingredients. Mix well and set aside.
The Noodles
Add salt, baking soda and water into a pot. Bring it to a boil and then add the homemade Chinese egg noodles. Gently stir and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the noodles are fully cooked.
Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water. Put it in a bowl together with sesame oil. Mix well and set aside.
Assembling
Place some noodles in a bowl followed by some soup. Then place the chicken, spring onion, pickled radish, egg, fried shallots and soy sauce sambal. Serve hot, enjoy!
