Chicken Soup Mee Sua (鸡汤面线)

Soul Soothing Soup

If you need a break from the heavy food and treats of the holiday season, try this Chicken Soup Mee Sua.

Mee Sua, wheat vermicelli (面线) also known as longevity noodles (长寿面), symbolizes longevity. Hence, many Chinese eat Mee Sua on their birthdays.

Chicken Soup has acquired a reputation of being a remedy for common colds and influenza. It’s warm, soothing, nutritious, and satisfying. There really is nothing more comforting than homemade chicken soup, it just makes you feel good (心灵鸡汤).

This Chicken Soup is made entirely from scratch, using fresh chicken. The Mee Sua is toss in at the very end of the cooking as it takes only two to three minutes to cook.

The silky noodles will soak up the flavors of the chicken soup. I slurp up all the soup every time I have a bowl of this. This is my go-to dish for a light meal, I can eat this every day.
