Chicken with Sotanghon Noodles


Napa Cabbage

This week I've been cooking different types of soups because of the rainy season to keep me warm. Sotanghon is the Philippine name for Bean Thread noodles.

Ingredients:


1 Chicken Breast fillet, sliced diagonally or thinly sliced or cooked shredded chicken about a cup
4 cups water
1 part of sotanghon noodles (about 150 gms)
5 leaves of Napa cabbage, sliced diagonally
1 small carrot, sliced diagonally
1 stalk celery, diced
slices of ginger
1 clove garlic minced
1 chicken knorr cubes
1 tsp. salt
a drizzle of sesame oil
dash of pepper
chopped green onions
2 tbsp oil

Procedure:


Saute in oil ginger, garlic in low heat to avoid burning the garlic, then add chicken, stir fry a little bit, add water, cover and let boil. Then add the noodles, salt, and cover. Once its boiling, stir a little bit to separate the noodles. Add chicken cubes, salt and dash of pepper. Add the carrots, celery and sliced cabbage. Turn off heat. Serve hot and garnish with green onions on top.

Note: I don't pre-soaked my noodles when I use it in soups. You can add some more water for the soup if you find that the water has been absorbed by the noodles, and check the taste once more. Add seasonings to your taste.
