Method

  1. 01

    Make and fry the aromatic paste

    Blend the shallots, garlic, turmeric, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds into a paste. Heat the oil in a pot and fry the paste for about 5 minutes, stirring so it releases its aroma without burning.

  2. 02

    Cook the chicken and flavor the broth

    Add the chicken thighs, water, galangal, ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, cinnamon, star anise, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil; skim off any foam that rises and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender.

    Cook the eggs and noodles

    While the chicken cooks, boil the eggs for 8 minutes and peel them once they are cool enough to handle. Cook the rice vermicelli according to the package instructions, then drain.

    Shred and serve

    Remove the chicken from the broth and shred it, discarding the bones. Strain the broth to remove the spices and solids. Divide the noodles and chicken among 4 bowls, pour the hot broth over them, and add half an egg to each bowl. Serve with the lime wedges.
