3 chicken breasts, sliced
2 spring onions, chopped

Method

  1. Boil water in the kettle. Place noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soften, then drain.

  2. In a saucepan combine stock and 1 cup of water and bring to the boil. Add ginger, galangal, lemongrass and chicken and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until the chicken is cooked. Transfer chicken to chopping board. Using two forks shred chicken meat and set aside. Remove stock mixture from heat and strain through a sieve into a saucepan. Discard solids. Add spring onion, chilli and fish sauce and heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes. Add lime juice and then taste and season with salt if desired.
