Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 20 minutes
Yield: 8 bowls
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken
- 2 lb shrimp
- 1/2 cup dried shrimp
- 1 white onion
- 1 garlic
- 1 daikon radish
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 3 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- 3 stems green onion
- 1.5 gal water
Steps:
- Clean the chicken with vinegar and water. Then cut into pieces.
- Put your dried shrimp into a small bowl and pour hot water over them shrimp so it will soften. Set aside.
- Wash onion and cilantro and then dice thinly. Set aside.
- Wash and cut daikon into big chunks. The daikon is to naturally make the broth base sweeter.
- Wash, peel and clean fresh shrimp. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper then set aside.
- Take a whole white onion and whole garlic and bake in the toaster oven at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. These are to use in the broth to enhance the flavor.
- In a large pot, put 1.5 gallons water on high heat until boiling. This process is about 5 minutes.
- Once boiling add the white onion and garlic that was toasted, the chunks of daikon, dried shrimp drained, and pieces of the chicken. Bring it to a boil again. The bubbles of the chicken that float to the top contain the fat; use a spoon and scoop it out. This process is about 10 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium, add salt, sugar, fish sauce and cook for 20 minutes with the lid close.
- Turn off heat, add the fresh shrimp into the pot and cover the lid for additional 10 minutes.
- The Korean-style noodles I use, take only 5 minutes to cook. Follow the directions on the packaging, as it varies depending on type/brand. Boil water and add the amount of noodles you want to eat. Drain with cold water.
- After the noodles are prepared - it is ready to serve. In a bowl, add your noodles then scoop the broth out from the pot. Top off with the diced cilantro. Optional: Add fried garlic that is store bought, and you can also slice the chicken breast or serve the chicken pieces whole.
