What you’ll need

Allergens
Check packaged noodles and stock; coriander is optional.

One step at a time

Let’s make it

  1. Simmer chicken with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and coriander for 20–25 minutes.
  2. Remove chicken, shred finely, and return the broth to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook vermicelli separately and drain. Add carrot and cabbage to the hot broth for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Taste, add salt if needed, and build bowls with noodles, chicken and vegetables. Keep sambal for adults.

Preparation and cooking times are estimates. Use the doneness checks in the method.

Make the texture work

Serve a clear noodle-and-chicken bowl first; vegetables can sit in a separate cup for exploring.

Season it properly

Lemongrass, galangal, turmeric and coriander are the main seasoning. Start with 1/4 tsp salt for the full pot; offer lime and sambal to adults.

Simple swaps

Use tofu in place of chicken or any familiar rice noodle. Omit coriander if the aroma is unwelcome.

Keep it safely

Store broth and noodles separately for up to 48 hours; reheat broth once until steaming hot.

Food education

What the ingredients bring

These are practical food-group notes, not a laboratory nutrition analysis. Portions and brands change the numbers.

  • Chicken provides protein, iron and vitamin B6.
  • Rice vermicelli gives easy-to-eat carbohydrate energy.
  • Carrot and cabbage add beta-carotene, vitamin C and fibre.
Before serving: supervise eating and adapt size and texture to your child’s chewing skills. These are ordinary family recipes, not a treatment for autism or a prescribed swallowing diet.
