INSTRUCTIONS
Via: Andrew Healy <a.healy@surrey.ac.uk>
Blend turmeric, garlic, ginger, and pepper into a paste. Heat 1 Tbs.
vegetable oil in a wok with medium heat, stir fry the paste for a minute or
two until fragrant.
Put the chicken into a big pot that is filled with water, salam leaves, two
of the scallions,salt, lemongrass and the fried spice paste. Cook covered
over medium heat for thirty minutes. Turn off theheat, and let the chicken
stand in its broth for about fifteen minutes to absorb the flavor. Take
the chicken out and let it cool off. Then remove the meat from its bones
and thinly slice it into bite-size pieces (you can either use the fork or
your hands to do this instead of using a knife) and discard the bones. Soak
the vermicelli in hot water for 15 minutes or you can boil it, drain well.
To serve, prepare separate side dishes of chicken, the rest of the
scallions, vermicelli, lemon slices, hot chili sauce, hard-boiled egg
slices, crispy fried shallots and sweet soy sauce. This particular dish is
best eaten with steamed rice, so arrange in layers in the individual soup
bowl, a cup of steam rice, a tablespoon of chicken, vermicelli, scallions,
egg slices, a few drops of sweet soy sauce and hot chili sauce. Then pour a
very hot chicken broth/soup and squeeze a slice of lemon and top with the
crispy fried shallots. Ready to serve. Makes 6-8 servings.
