Chicken long rice (Hawaiian-style chicken soup) is my favorite dish of all time. It is also a great winter comfort food, and is especially good during flu season. Serve it over steamed rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package bean thread vermicelli noodles

  • warm water, as needed

  • 3 chicken breasts, or more to taste

  • water, to cover

  • 1 quart chicken broth

  • 1 small onion, sliced thin

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 3 slices fresh ginger, chopped

  • 3 bay leaves

  • 1 tablespoon patis (Philippine-style fish sauce)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 cups chopped bok choy

Directions

  1. Place bean thread noodles in a large bowl with enough warm water to cover by 1 inch; soak until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain, then cut noodles into desired lengths.

  2. Add chicken breasts to a large pot with enough water to cover by several inches; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  3. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; shred into strands with 2 forks. Return chicken to pot of boiling water.

  4. Add chicken broth; reduce heat to medium-high. Add onion, garlic, ginger, bay leaves, fish sauce, and soy sauce; season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil; add noodles. Cook at a boil until noodles are translucent, about 5 minutes.

  5. Stir in bok choy; cook until leaves wilt slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
