LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOBA NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Remove any tough ends or hard outer husks of lemongrass, cut into 2-inch pieces, and smash with the side of a knife. Tie lemongrass in a loose bundle with cheesecloth.
• Rinse chicken and place in a medium soup pot. Add 6 cups cold water to cover chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and skim the surface thoroughly of any impurities that rise.
• Lower the heat and add carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, and the lemongrass bundle. Adjust heat so water barely bubbles. Cover and poach chicken for 25 minutes. Lift chicken out of the pot and transfer to a plate. When it's cool enough to handle, pull meat off the bones and shred the meat into large pieces. Set aside.
• Add soy sauce to broth and return to a boil. Add noodles, scallions, shiitakes, and bok choy; cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until noodles are tender. Add chicken and heat through. Discard lemongrass bundle. Stir in the cilantro or basil before serving.

• Using tongs, remove the chicken to a plate. Discard the ginger and scallions from the broth and skim off any foam. Shred the chicken and return to the broth. Add the shiitakes and carrots, return to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas.

Steps:

• Boil the chicken stock in a large pot with the Tom-Yum Paste.
• Add in the uncooked chicken and keep at a low boil till the chicken is cooked half through.
• Bruise the lime leaves by rubbing them in your hand a bit to bruise them so they give off more flavor and aroma.
• Bruise the lemongrass by hitting it with the flat side of a knife, as you would with garlic.
• Throw the lime leaves and lemon grass into pot along with the fish sauce,lime juice, and chili flakes.
• Cook on med-low for an hour- 45 min or as long as it takes the chicken to completly cook.
• You can cook the chicken till its very tender and almost falls off the bone if you like --
• Once ready serve hot, in a bowl with another bowl of rice.
• *** ALL ingredients (lime juice, fish sauce, etc) can be increased or decreased to your liking -- I prefer this soup to be really sour, lemon/lime tasting and a bit spicy, while others may like more salty (add more fish sauce then) and sour flavor.
