MEAL IN A BOWL WITH CHICKEN, RICE NOODLES AND SPINACH

Steps:

• If possible, do this step a day ahead: Combine the chicken and 3 quarts water in a large, heavy soup pot and bring to a simmer. Skim off foam and add the onion, ginger root, garlic cloves, peppercorns and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat, cover partially, and simmer 40 minutes. Skim occasionally. Remove the chicken pieces from the broth and allow to cool. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and strain the broth into a bowl. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred and refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve the soup. Refrigerate the broth for at least 3 hours or, preferably, overnight. Lift off the fat from the surface and discard.
• About 30 minutes before you wish to serve the meal, remove the chicken and broth from the refrigerator. Bring the broth to a simmer and add the fish sauce (or soy sauce) and salt to taste. Taste and adjust seasonings. Place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let sit for 20 minutes, then drain.

• Just before serving, add the spinach to the simmering soup. To serve the soup, distribute the noodles among 4 to 6 large bowls. Top with shredded chicken and a handful of chopped cilantro. Ladle the simmering broth, with some of the spinach, into each bowl over the chicken and noodles. Serve at once, passing the limes for guests to squeeze on as they wish.

CHINESE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• This soup changes as the ingredients are available in my refrigerator or on my cupboard shelves.
• Takes about 20 minutes from start to table. Start 2 cups of water to boil; add chicken broth.
• After stock boils, add the packet of seasoning supplied with Top Ramen.
• While broth is boiling, add 1 raw chicken breast (cut in small pieces), the chopped vegetables and the raw egg.
• The egg will cook into threads.
• Just before serving, add the noodles and the peas, then the sesame oil and scallions.
• Don't let soup sit around for long time because vegetables need to be a bit crunchy, cooked soft. If using leftover meat in your soup, just add at the end because it only needs to warm up again.
• You can always add another can of chicken broth if soup is too thick or you like more broth.
• You may vary the soup with different Chinese type vegetables available. Add some garlic and a dash of hot Chinese mustard.
• If using strong vegetables such as broccoli, cut small and don't overcook to avoid the strong flavor.
• Remember the noodles are already cooked and they do not need to be cooked, only to absorb the moisture from the broth, which does thicken the soup.
