Critical Success Points

  • Blanch the chicken thighs to obtain a clear broth
  • Make the flavored broth without letting it boil too hard
  • Knead the vermicelli dough until a smooth texture is achieved
  • Cook the vermicelli for exactly 5 minutes to prevent them from becoming gummy

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Watch out for boiling water splashes when blanching the chicken.
