wrappers from 4 Van’s Kitchen Chicken Egg Rolls, thinly sliced
bean sprouts
¼ C mint leaves
¼ C basil leaves
¼ C cilantro leaves
½ C scallions, thinly sliced
8 lime wedges
1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
sriracha sauce, to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, cook the rice noodles according to instructions; drain and set aside.
Cut the ends from each of the egg rolls. Cut the wrapper of each egg roll lengthwise on one side. Carefully open the egg roll and remove the filling from each, keeping the wrapper intact. Put the wrappers aside for later use.
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Heat another pot over medium heat. Add shredded chicken, garlic, and ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken stock, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, and egg roll filling to the pot. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
While the soup simmers, flatten the reserved egg roll wrappers and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the egg roll wrappers for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned, dry, and crisp. After cooling slightly, cut the wrappers into thin strips.
While the egg roll wrappers bake, slice the scallions, lime wedges, jalapeño, and any oversized herb leaves.
Divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Divide the soup and then the toppings evenly over the noodles. Garnish each bowl with crispy egg rolls wrapper strips just before serving. Serve warm.
