A home-style Filipino soup: chicken, glass noodles and vegetables in an orange-tinted, garlicky broth. A favourite comfort food on rainy days and when unwell.
Bring the chicken to the boil with the water, skim, and cook for 25 minutes. Remove, shred the meat, and set the broth aside.
In a pot, fry the onion and garlic in the annatto oil for 3 minutes.
Add the shredded chicken and 1 tbsp fish sauce, and fry for 1 minute.
Pour in the broth, bring to the boil, add the carrot and wood ear mushroom, and cook for 4 minutes.
Add the drained glass noodles and Chinese cabbage, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are translucent and soft. Season with the remaining fish sauce and pepper.
Serve hot, sprinkled with spring onion and fried garlic.

Tips
Glass noodles soak up a lot of liquid; thin with broth when reheating if it's sitting.
Annatto oil gives it its colour; paprika oil looks good too.
