      Title: Curried Chicken Coconut Noodle Soup
 Categories: Epicurious, Soups, Poultry, Curry
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2 cl Garlic, minced
      2 tb Vegetable oil
      4 tb Curry powder
      3 c  Chicken broth
     28 oz Unsweetened coconut milk*
      1 c  Water
      2    Stalks of lemongrass*, the
           Outer leaves discarded, ends
           Trimmed, and 5 inches of the
           Lower stalks minced
     10    1/8-inch-thick slices of
           Peeled fresh gingerroot
      1 ts Black peppercorns
      1    Whole chicken breast with
           Skin and bones (about 1
           Pound)
    1/2 lb Dried rice-stick noodles*
           (rice vermicelli)
      6 tb Fresh lime juice
      6 tb Asian fish sauce such as
           Nuoc mam*
    1/3 c  Chopped fresh coriander
           Asian chilli oil*
 
  *available at Asian markets and some specialty produce markets
  
  In a heavy saucepan cook the garlic in the vegetable oil over
  moderately low heat, stirring, until it is fragrant, add the curry
  powder, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Stir in the
  broth, the coconut milk, the water, the lemongrass, the gingerroot,
  and the peppercorns and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the chicken
  and poach it at a bare simmer for 20 minutes, or until it is cooked
  through. Transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and let
  it cool, keeping the poaching mixture warm.
  
  While the chicken is cooling, in a large bowl soak the noodles in
warm
  water to cover for 5 minutes, drain them, and in a large saucepan of
  salted boiling water cook them for 5 minutes. Drain the noodles in a
  colander, rinse them under cold water, and drain them well.
  
  Discard the skin and bones from the chicken, shred the meat, and
stir
  it into the poaching mixture with the lime juice and the fish sauce.
  Cook the soup over moderate heat, stirring, until it is hot, divide
  the noodles among 6 to 8 bowls, and ladle the soup over them.
  Sprinkle the soup with the coriander and drizzle it with the chili
  oil.
  
  Rice sticks turn up in soups in many parts of Asia. This recipe was
  inspired by an aromatic soup offered at Bo Ky, a Vietnamese noodle
  parlor on Bayard Street in New York City.
  
  Serves 4 as a main dish and 8 as a first course.
