Chicken Long Rice

Chicken long rice is a Hawaiian dish with the influence of Chinese cuisine. The dish is made with a combination of vermicelli noodles, ginger, green onions, and chicken thighs in a clear chicken broth. Some say that it's a version of chicken soup, only with more noodles and less soup. Chicken long rice can be found in most Hawaiian restaurants and it's a comforting dish for many locals, especially during cold weather. It's served in shallow bowls as a first course or as a side dish accompanying lau lau or lomi lomi salmon. If desired, it can be additionally seasoned with soy sauce.
