Ingredients

  • 7 1/2 ounces long-grain rice
  • 1 -2 lb chicken (chopped or parts)
  • 32 ounces Swanson chicken broth (may need more)
  • 1/2 round onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced
  • 4 stalks green onions, 1 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

Method

  • Soak long rice for about 15 minutes before preparing meal. Ok if its longer, won't hurt it. I use Nice Brand (also known as bean thread or sai fun) This brand is pre-cut at about 7-inches.
  • In large pot, saute round onion and ginger until onion is semi-transluscent.
  • Add chicken and stir fry until almost done.
  • Add long rice and chicken broth.
  • Cook at low simmer until noodles are transparent. Then add shoyu to taste (I use Kikkoman Soy Sauce; about 1/5 cup.).
  • Make sure you don't run out of liquid or the noodles will stick together. Doesn't have to be soupy just have some liquid on the bottom -- the noodles soak up liquid quickly. If you need to, you can add more broth or water.
  • NOTE: No salt is needed, the broth has plenty of flavor.
  • OPTIONAL: slivered carrots, bamboo shoot slices, or Chinese peas. Please note that adding too much stuff can take away from presentation.
  • You can also substitute the chicken with pork or beef slices.
