I shortcutted this original recipe because I do not have time to make noodles from scratch. Like ever..: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dak-kalguksu
Time: 1-1 1/4 hours
Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 14 cups water
- 16 whole garlic cloves (about ½ cup)
- 1 medium onion, cut into quarters
- 12 oz. linguine gluten free pasta (my favorite brand is: Bionaturae)
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into matchsticks (about 1½ cup)
- 8 oz. package of shitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Avocado Oil
- Olive Oil
- Fish sauce
- Salt
- Ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Korean hot pepper flakes
- Start the broth: Put water, chicken breast, garlic, and onion in a large stock pot and boil for 45 minutes over high heat.
- Flash boil mushrooms 1-2 minutes and set aside.
- Prepare the zucchini: Combine the zucchini matchsticks with ¼ teaspoon salt and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, squeeze the excess water out by hand and saute with a few drops of avocado oil in a pan. Set aside.
- Make noodles: Cook Linguine noodles according to instructions. Set aside.
- After 45 minutes of boiling, finish the stock by removing from the heat. Strain: save boiled garlic and chicken breasts, while discarding onion. The stock will look clear but a little milky.
- Add 1 tbsp salt and 2 tsp fish sauce or to taste. Mix well and put it back to the stock pot. Set aside.
- Make garlic seasoning paste: Collect the cooked garlic into a small bowl and mash it with a spoon. Add 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, and 2 tsp olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
- Pull the chicken into thin strips with your fingers and mix it in with the garlic mixture. Set aside.
- Make soup bowl: In large individual serving bowls, put some noodles, some zucchini & mushrooms on the center of each bowl and add some chicken. Sprinkle some chopped green onion over top. Ladle broth over noodles and serve.
To make spicy version:
- Combine 2 tbsp hot pepper flakes and 2 teaspoons olive in a small bowl. Mix well and serve. When you eat, add some of the mixture to your noodle soup and eat.
