Cambodian Chicken Flat Noodle Porridge

The Cambodian Chicken Flat Noodle Porridge is a hearty soup dish that bears resemblance to chicken rice porridge, with the key difference being the use of large flat noodles in place of rice. The star ingredient in this recipe is the chicken or pork bone broth, which forms the flavorful base of the dish.

To prepare this dish, start by boiling 16 cups of water in a large soup pot and add the chicken (or hen or pork) until fully cooked. Remove the meat, let it cool, and then shred it before setting it aside. Retain the broth and add dried shrimp, dried cabbage, chicken flavor soup bouillon, fish sauce (or salt), and sugar to taste. Next, incorporate the noodles and shredded meat back into the broth, ensuring the noodle quantity matches the broth’s volume. If using fresh noodles, be cautious not to overcook them to prevent them from becoming mushy.

After adjusting the flavors, incorporate fried garlic and green onions into the soup and allow it to cool slightly before serving. When ready to serve, ladle the noodle soup into bowls and garnish with various toppings such as salted or sweet soybean, saw tooth coriander, bean sprouts, fried garlic, black pepper, lime wedge, Thai chili paste, and optional fry bread according to personal preference.
