Creating Healthy Chicken Noodles

Making healthy chicken noodles at home can be a delightful family activity that brings everyone together. When choosing ingredients together, you can consider everyone's preferences. Here's a step-by-step guide to crafting healthy chicken noodles:

1. Healthy Chicken Oil

   • Start by selecting fresh chicken with vibrant meat, avoiding pale cuts.
   • Separate the chicken skin and fat from the meat.
   • Heat 5 tablespoons of fresh cooking oil (avoid reusing old oil, as it can be unhealthy).
   • Fry the chicken skin and fat over low heat until they become crispy, adding a pinch of salt.
   • Once dry, remove them from the oil and add thinly sliced garlic to the pan.
   • Fry the garlic until it turns brown, then remove it.
   • After it cools down, transfer the oil to a bottle for easy pouring into your bowl.

2. Chicken Noodle Soup

   • Separate the chicken bones from the meat.
   • Boil the chicken bones in enough water over low heat until a flavorful broth emerges.
   • Season with some salt and pepper to taste, then turn off the stove once it boils.

3. Chicken Stew Topping

   • Create a spice blend by combining 5 shallots, 5 garlic cloves, 2 roasted candlenuts, and 2 pieces of turmeric.
   • Crush 3 cm of ginger and 1 lemongrass stalk.
   • Sauté the ground spices, crushed ginger, and lemongrass until halfway cooked.
   • Add diced chicken breast fillet and sauté until it changes color.
   • Incorporate sweet soy sauce and pour in enough chicken bone broth.
   • Boil over medium heat until the liquid reduces slightly and the spices are absorbed.
   • Add salt, pepper, and small pieces of chives to taste.

4. Sambal (Chili Paste)

   • Grind red chilies and garlic to make a paste.
   • Season with salt and sugar to taste, and add 1 tablespoon of broth for consistency.

5. Mustard Green Vegetables

   • Quickly blanch chopped mustard greens in boiling water for 1 minute to preserve their nutritional content.
   • Drain them well.

6. Noodles

   • Boil yellow noodles for just 15 seconds; don't overcook.
   • Drain thoroughly.

7. Presentation

   • Add 2 tablespoons of the healthy chicken oil you prepared to a bowl.
   • Stir in the noodles to coat them in the flavorful oil.
   • Layer the noodles with generous green vegetables, healthy chicken stew, and sliced spring onions.
   • Don't forget to serve wonton crackers, soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, or lime as accompaniments.
