1 medium bulb of garlic, peeled and pressed
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

Bring the first five ingredients to a boil remove from heat. Cover and let steep for 10 minutes.
Add chicken breast and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 35 to 45 minutes.
Remove to plate. Cut into 1 inch cubes when cooled enough to handle.
Cook remaining broth down to measure 3/4 cup . If less than 3/4 cup remains, add enough water to make 3/4 cup.
Cook bean thread noodles. Rinse and drain.
Place well drained noodles into a serving bowl. Top with chicken, cucumbers, onions and peanuts. Drizzle remaining broth/sauce over the top and toss.
Chill and serve.
We like onions so I add more. We also like the crunch of the peanuts but you can add as many or as few as you like.
