WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS RECIPE

This chicken long rice is the ultimate Hawaiian comfort food—warm, brothy, and soothing with every bite.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHICKEN

– Chicken broth – Soy sauce – Garlic cloves – Ginger – Sugar – Chicken thighs – Bean thread noodles – Green onion

Add chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and sugar to a stock pot. Stir to combine.

STEP 1: BUILD THE BROTH

Submerge chicken thighs in the broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes until tender.

STEP 2: SIMMER THE CHICKEN

Place bean-thread noodles in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak until softened, then drain and set aside.

STEP 3: SOFTEN THE NOODLES

Remove chicken thighs from the pot. Shred the meat, discarding skin and bones. Return the chicken to the broth along with the softened noodles.

STEP 4: SHRED AND RETURN

Simmer everything together for 5–10 minutes so the noodles soak up the broth. Ladle into bowls, garnish with sliced green onion, and serve hot.

STEP 5: FINISH AND SERVE
