  • Season: Add the soy sauce with sesame oil mixture and your oyster sauce, if you have it, to the chicken. Mix everything well and coat them evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Chicken:

Chicken Long Rice Recipe

1. What are mung bean noodles, and where can I find them?

Mung bean noodles, also known as long rice or cellophane noodles, are made from mung bean starch. They are clear when cooked and very satisfying to chew. You can find them in Asian grocery stores, health food stores, or online. Look for packages that say “mung bean noodles,” “cellophane noodles,” or “glass noodles.”

2. Can I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of a whole?

If you want leaner meat, you may use breasts; however, to get the richest broth possible you’d want to use a whole chicken. Use the breasts by boiling them until they are fully cooked. Then pull it apart and continue with this recipe as instructed.

3. Do I have to use oyster sauce for this recipe?

Although oyster sauce is savory with a rich depth of umami taste, it is not necessary. If you’re making it vegetarian or simply forgot to get the oyster sauce, omit it altogether. Taste to your liking by adding more soy sauce or giving a sprinkle of mushroom sauce.

4. Is Chicken Long Rice gluten-free?

This is a fairly simple recipe to make gluten-free by simply swapping regular soy sauce with gluten-free soy sauce or tamari. Of course, your long rice noodles and all other sauces have to be, naturally, certified gluten-free.

5. Can leftovers of Long Rice be stored? How long does it last?

The remaining portion should be preserved in a tightly covered container in the fridge and can be used to make soup for up to 3-4 days. Serve it gently over a pot from your stove or in the microwave. Let your broth and noodle mixture stay apart to keep your noodles’ texture intact.
