Fragrant, warming, and deeply satisfying. This version uses Maui-grown aromatics and your local, slow-simmered chicken bone broth to elevate the traditional simplicity into something restorative and simply gourmet.

 Ingredients

• 1 tbsp avocado oil or sesame oil
• 1 thumb-size piece of ginger, peeled & julienned
• 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1.5 to 2 lbs bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks
• 6 cups Maui Bone Broth Chicken
• 2–3 green onions (white + green parts separated)
• 1 tbsp Hawaiian salt or to taste
• 2 tbsp low-sodium shoyu (soy sauce)
• 1 tsp fish sauce (optional, for depth)
• 1 package (6–8 oz) dried long rice (aka bean thread / glass noodles)
• Fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)

 Instructions

1. Soak the Long Rice

• Place the dry long rice noodles in warm water and soak for about 15–20 minutes until softened. Drain and set aside.

2. Sear the Chicken & Aromatics

1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add ginger and garlic, sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
3. Add chicken pieces and lightly brown on all sides (3–4 minutes).

3. Add the Broth

1. Pour in Maui Chicken Bone Broth.
2. Add white parts of green onions, shoyu, salt, and optional fish sauce.
3. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
4. Simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.

4. Shred Chicken & Return

• Remove chicken, shred off bone, and return meat to the broth.
• Discard bones and skin (or save for another broth!).

5. Add Long Rice

• Add softened noodles to the hot broth.
• Simmer for another 5–8 minutes, until noodles are fully transparent and have soaked up flavor.

6. Adjust Seasoning & Garnish

• Taste and adjust seasoning — add more shoyu or salt if needed.
• Add chopped green onion tops.
• Serve hot, optionally garnished with cilantro, chili oil, or a squeeze of lime.
• The Maui Bone Broth Chicken adds unmatched body, minerals, and collagen to this humble dish.
• It’s often served at luʻau, baby lūʻau, and potlucks, and is a favorite for when you're feeling under the weather.
• Can be made ahead — it reheats beautifully!
