Ingredients
  • 2.5 cup chicken broth
  • 65 g rice noodles
  • 15 g ginger
  • 20 g scallion
  • 2 each star anise
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 128.9 g boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 100 g spinach
  • 273.6 g pineapple
  • 30 g sliced almonds
  • 2 sprig fresh cilantro
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
Method
  1. 01In a medium pot, combine chicken broth, bruised ginger, whole star anise, fish sauce, and the whites/stems of the scallion. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. 02Add the raw chicken breast to the simmering broth. Poach for 12–15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the poultry is completely cooked through and no longer pink.
  3. 03Remove the chicken, let cool slightly, and shred into bite-sized strips.
  4. 04In a separate pot of boiling water, cook the dry rice noodles for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and place into a large serving bowl.
  5. 05Briefly submerge the spinach in the hot simmering broth for 30 seconds until wilted and bright green, then transfer it into the bowl alongside the shredded chicken.
  6. 06Strain the hot broth to remove whole spices and aromatics, then ladle it over the rice noodles, chicken, and spinach.
  7. 07Top with diced pineapple, toasted sliced almonds, thinly sliced scallion greens, and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
