1. Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, garlic, and a pinch of salt for 30 minutes.

2. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

3. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the chicken until tender. Remove and slice thinly.

4. In the same pot, add fish sauce and adjust seasoning to taste. Bring to a simmer.

5. Assemble the bowl by placing noodles at the bottom, followed by chicken slices, bean sprouts, and fresh herbs.

Pro-Tips:

• Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. Basil and cilantro are essential for an authentic taste.

• Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to infuse it with flavor.

• Don’t overcook the noodles; they should be al dente for the perfect texture.

• For a spicy kick, add sliced chili to the broth.

Variations:

• Feel free to experiment with different proteins like shrimp or beef for a unique twist.

• You can also add vegetables like bok choy or mushrooms for added texture and flavor.

• For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth.
