Servings
Ingredients
- 7 quarts water
- 4 lb chicken
- 1 stalk lemongrass
- medium ginger
- galangal
- medium onion
- 5 kaffir lime leaves
- 3 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp fish sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken bouillon
- quail eggs, to taste
- blood cubes, to taste
- meatballs, to taste
- 14 oz tapioca starch
- 16 oz rice flour
- 3 tbsp glutinous rice flour
- extra tapioca starch, as needed
- 4 cups boiling water
- fried dough pieces
Instructions
- 1Bring 7 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
- 2Add the lemongrass, ginger, galangal, onion, and kaffir lime leaves to the boiling water and simmer for 20 minutes to create the broth.
- 3Stir in the salt, fish sauce, and chicken bouillon, adjusting seasoning to taste.
- 4Prepare the noodle dough: combine the tapioca starch, rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and enough boiling water (4‑4.25 cups) to form a smooth dough.
- 5Roll out the dough on a floured surface using a rolling pin until thin.
- 6Cut the rolled dough into thin strips to form noodles.
- 7Optionally, briefly fry the cut noodle strips in a pan until lightly golden, then set aside (these become the fried dough pieces seen in the final bowl).
- 8Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a boil, add the freshly cut noodle strips (or the fried pieces if preferred), and cook until the noodles are tender, about 4‑5 minutes.
- 9Drain the noodles and set aside.
- 10Add the cooked noodles to the broth, then gently drop in quail eggs, blood cubes, and meatballs, allowing them to heat through for a few minutes.
- 11Serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
