Spicy Lemongrass Chicken Noodle Soup image

I love this recipe during the cold months of the year. It evolved from a recipe torn out of a magazine and it changes a little bit every time I make it.

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves, Minced
1 tablespoon gingerroot, Minced (About 1 Tbsp)
1 tablespoon garlic and red chile paste
2 stalks lemongrass, Peeled and Bruised
4 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
1 lb chicken breast, cut into small pieces
3 ounces enoki mushrooms, cut into small pieces (optional)
1/3 lb angel hair pasta or 1/3 lb rice noodles
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 lime, juice of
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 red chili pepper, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Prep all ingredients. This comes together quickly so it is nice to be fully prepped.
  • Heat oil in medium sized pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add garlic, ginger, chili paste, and lemon grass. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes to bring out flavor. (It'll smell really yummy at this point!).
  • Add mushrooms and chicken and stir to coat for about 2 minutes. Don't brown them, you just want to let them soak in some of the flavor.
  • Add the chicken stock and water and bring to a boil.
  • Add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  • Stir in cilantro, oyster Sauce, lime juice, green onions, and red pepper.
  • Let stand for a few minutes then discard lemon grass.
  • Serve with siracha, lime wedges, and oyster sauce.
