Instructions
- Place the chicken parts and other stock ingredients into a large pot. Add 3-4 liters of cold water. Place the pot on high heat until it reaches a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low (setting 3) and let it simmer for 40-50 minutes. Leave the pot uncovered and no need to add salt. Using a slotted spoon, skim off any foam that surfaces. This step ensures a clear stock with a golden tint.
- While the stock simmers, begin preparing the eggs. Boil them for 10 minutes, then transfer to cold water to cool. Once cooled, peel the eggs.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool. Once it has cooled, separate the chicken meat from the bones and shred it into small pieces. Take out any vegetables, bay leaves, and peppercorns from the stock pot. If the stock appears too dark or contains foam, strain it by pouring it through a fine-mesh colander into another pot.
- Place the pot with the stock back on the stove and season with salt. Add the shredded chicken meat to the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until they're tender. For thin noodles, this usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Check for the salt and adjust if needed. Cut each egg into 3-4 rounds and arrange them in the soup plates. Pour in the chicken soup with noodles. Serve with fresh parsley or scallions, bread roll.
