Put the chicken, the onion, carrot, celery, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns and the water in a pot and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam that rises during the first 15 minutes with a spoon.
StovePot
2
Turn down and simmer gently 2.5–3 hours.
Stove
💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
3
Strain the stock.

For the Boiled Egg
4
Bring a pot of water to a boil, deep enough to cover the eggs by about 2 cm.
StovePot
5
Gently lower the eggs into it with a spoon.
6
Turn down the heat slightly and simmer 10–11 minutes.
Stove
7
Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes, and peel from the wide end.
Ice bath
💡Cold water right after cooking stops the cooking and separates the membrane from the white: peeling is easy, and the yolk doesn't turn gray.
To assemble
8
Heat the oil in a pot and fry the garlic and ginger in it 2 minutes, until fragrant.
StovePot
9
Add the paprika, turmeric and cumin and fry 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stove
💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
10
Add the chicken and fry 5 minutes, until the chicken browns.
Stove
11
Add the coconut milk, stock, fish sauce and salt and bring to a boil.
Stove
12
Turn down the heat and simmer 15 minutes.
Stove
13
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water (4¼ cups of water and a heaping teaspoon of salt for every 4 oz of pasta), following the package directions (taste about 2 minutes early), until al dente.
StovePot
💡The water should taste like a seasoned soup, not like sea water: a heaping teaspoon of salt per liter. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
14
Drain.
Colander
15
Divide the noodles among the bowls and pour the boiling soup over them.
