  3. Take the chicken out and let it cold off. Then remove the meat from its bones and thinly slice it into bite-size pcs (you can either use the fork or possibly your hands to do this instead of using a knife) and throw away the bones.
  4. Soak the vermicelli in warm water for 15 min or possibly you can boil it, drain well.
  5. To serve, prepare separate side dishes of chicken, the rest of the scallions, vermicelli, lemon slices, warm chili sauce, hard-boiled egg slices, crispy fried shallots and sweet soy sauce.
  6. This particular dish is best eaten with steamed rice, so arrange in layers in the individual soup bowl, a c. of steam rice, a Tbsp. of chicken, vermicelli, scallions, egg slices, a few drops of sweet soy sauce and warm chili sauce. Then pour a very warm chicken broth/soup and squeeze a slice of lemon and top with the crispy fried shallots. Ready to serve.
