Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs chicken drumsticks
-
7 cups water
-
1 tablespoon chicken base (Better than Bouillon brand)
-
6 ounces egg noodles, very thin
-
2/3 cup snow peas, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
-
4 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
-
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
-
1/2 teaspoon gingerroot, minced
-
1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, depending on your heat tolerance
-
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
-
1 lime, cut into wedges
-
2/3 cup carrot, shredded
Instructions
- Put the drumsticks in the water and bring to a boil. Add the chicken base, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes, until the meat starts to pull away from the bone. Remove the drumsticks from the stock, and set aside to cool.
- Remove the stock from the heat so that you can more easily remove the fat.
- Remove the meat from the drumsticks when they are cool enough to touch, and chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
- Check the cooking time on your noodles. I used very thin ones that had a 4 minute cooking time. The veggies need to cook for 3 minutes, so add your noodles according to the cooking time on the package.
- Bring the stock back to a boil over medium heat. Add the noodles according to their cooking time; then add the chicken, carrots, snow peas, green onions, garlic, and gingerroot. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Add the cilantro and heat through.
- Serve with lime wedges.
