Chef Tips

- Toast the onion and ginger on a griddle before boiling to give an amber tone and slightly smoky notes to the broth. - Rinse the rice noodles in cold water right after cooking to stop softening and prevent sticking. - Serve the broth piping hot in the bowl so the heat activates the oils of the cilantro and basil at the moment of eating.

Variations

- Adicione uma unidade de anis-estrelado e uma canela em pau durante a fervura do caldo para criar o perfil clássico de especiarias. - Fatie pimentas vermelhas frescas como dedo-de-moça para guarnecer a sopa à mesa trazendo picância acentuada. - Incorpore cogumelos fatiados ao caldo nos 10 minutos finais de cozimento para adicionar mais textura.

Substitutions

- The chicken breast can be replaced with boneless thighs or whole thighs to provide a denser broth. - Thai basil can be swapped for common basil mixed with a few mint leaves. - Fish sauce can be replaced with light soy sauce with drops of lemon if you cannot find the Asian condiment.

How to Store

Mantenha o caldo e o frango desfiado em vasilhas fechadas na geladeira por até 4 dias. O macarrão deve ser cozido na hora do consumo para não desmanchar no líquido guardado.

Can You Freeze It?

Pure broth freezes easily for up to 3 months in airtight plastic containers. Do not freeze the soup already assembled with the pasta and fresh sprouts, as they will lose their characteristic texture.

What to Serve With

Arrange small plates on the table with lemon wedges, additional bean sprouts, fresh cilantro sprigs, and sriracha chili sauce so that each diner can season to their liking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Posso substituir o macarrão de arroz por macarrão tradicional de trigo?

Não é recomendado, pois a textura leve e neutra da massa de arroz é fundamental para não sobrecarregar a delicadeza do caldo asiático.

How to remove excess fat from the surface of the broth?

Pass a ladle close to the surface of the boiling broth or let the broth cool in the refrigerator to remove the solidified fat layer.

O que é exatamente o molho de peixe citado na receita?

É um condimento líquido fermentado tradicional da culinária do sudeste asiático, salgado e rico em sabor umami, conhecido como nam pla ou nuoc mam.

Does bean sprout need to be cooked before serving?

No, bean sprouts (moyashi) are placed raw in the bowl so that the boiling broth softens them slightly while maintaining their crunchy texture.
