Description

Ingredients

• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
• 1/4 onion, very thinly sliced, divided
• 1 whole star anise
• 1 two cinnamon stick
• 70 grams dried rice noodles, broken or cut into a third of the length to fit in mug
• 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 2 cups chicken stock or low sodium broth
• 1/4 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie works great)
• Toppings of your choice for serving: (I use all)
• 1 teaspoon cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon sliced green oninons
• 1 teaspoon Thai basil, roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon mung beans
• 1 lime wedge
• 1 jalapeño, Thai red chili or serrano chile pepper, thinly sliced
• Sauces: Sriracha/Asian red chili garlic sauce and/or hoisin for serving

Directions

• Place garlic, ginger, a few slices of onions, star anise, cinnamon stick and rice noodles and fish sauce into a Corningware™ Meal Mug™.
• Microwave Directions
• Add the chicken broth, making sure all the noodles are submerged under the broth (push down with a fork and break any noodles if necessary) and cover with the lid with the steam vent open. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes (Mine took 5) until noodles have softened and are almost opaque. Allow to steam for 8-10 minutes until the noodles have softened and expanded.
• Carefully remove lid and stir with fork and remove star anise and cinnamon stick.
• Add shredded chicken and garnish with remaining sliced onions and toppings of your choice. Serve immediately with a splash of lime and sauce(s) of your choice.
• Oven Directions
• Preheat oven to 400 F. Add the chicken stock/broth making sure all the noodles are submerged under liquid (push down with a fork and break any noodles if necessary) and carefully place the mug (uncovered) in the preheated oven. Cook for 15 minutes or until noodles have softened and are almost opaque. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the meal mug from the oven (it will be very hot straight from the oven). Give the noodles a stir with a fork and cover with the lid with the steam vent open and allow to steam for 8-10 minutes until the noodles have softened and expanded.
• Carefully remove lid and stir again with fork. Remove star anise and cinnamon stick.
• Add shredded chicken and garnish with remaining sliced onions and toppings of your choice. Serve with a splash of lime and sauce(s) of your choice.
