Directions

Step 1
In a large pot, combine chicken stock, smashed garlic, smashed cilantro roots, and whole white pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes to infuse flavors.
Step 2
Add chicken thighs to the simmering broth. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and tender. Remove chicken, let cool slightly, then shred or slice.
Step 3
Strain the broth to remove solids. Return clear broth to the pot. Season with fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar. Taste and adjust.
Step 4
Cook rice noodles according to package instructions until tender. Rinse with cold water and drain well.
Step 5
To serve, place cooked noodles in individual bowls. Top with shredded chicken and a handful of fresh bean sprouts.
Step 6
Ladle the hot, clear broth over the noodles and chicken. Garnish with chopped spring onion, cilantro, and fried garlic.
