Once hot (before it starts to smoke), add kept Chicken Skin. Be sure to continue to stir as to not burn or stick too much to bottom of pot. 5 minutes.</li> <li>Once browned (and slightly crispy), add first bowl (all of it) and stir. Add a couple cracks of Salt and Pepper. Stir again. After 1-2 minutes add Brandy/Sherry and stir. Cover. Let sit for 5 minutes or until most (if not all) liquid has evaporated.</li> <li>Take lid off and stir. If needed, watch and stir until all liquids are cooked off and veggies are soft.</li> <li>Add Water to pot.</li> <li>Once boiling (2-3 minutes) add contents of Second bowl. Stir. Add Five Spice &amp; Cubed Chicken to pot. Stir. Return pot to just near boiling (2-3 minutes). Add Rice Noodles. Cover pot. Let cook for 5-6 minutes (until Rice Noodles are soft.</li> <li>Remove pot from heat. Uncover and stir. Re-cover pot and let sit for 3-4 minutes (to let noodles continue to cook and everything to set).</li> <li>Remove lid. Stir. Serve.</li> <li>Be warned&#8230; this is one freaking spicy bowl of soup. Delicious, but freaking spicy. You can obviously omit or add any ingredients you so choose (as in no Mushrooms BB).
