What is Chicken Long Rice? Well, it is chicken with long rice what else? Alright alright, relax. This dish can be traced to the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Hawaii. Hawaii because all the people from those three countries ended up on the shores on our major islands. Generally this dish is rather soupy, and when the rice noodles soak up the soup, it becomes well...less soupy. I like mine soupy, don't want it mushy however I won't complain if someone made it for me mushy, I don't turn down free food. Are you kidding? Free food? Turn it down? "No way Batman!"
What's in this dish? How would Chef Ron make it? Okay, here we go.
