For the Soup
1 3 lb chicken (giblets removed, patted dry with paper towels)
6 whole green onions, halved
1 1 inch piece of ginger, crushed
6 whole cloves
Salt
2 tablespoons fish sauce
16 ounces rice vermicelli or bean thread noodles
For the Table Salad
1 shallot, thinly sliced and fried
1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup whole basil leaves
1/2 cup whole mint leaves
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1-2 jalapenos, sliced into thin rings
Lime wedges
Hoisin, sambal, and fish sauce

1
Place chicken, green onions, ginger, and cloves in slow cooker. Season with salt and pour in enough water to cover. Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
2
Once chicken is fully cooked (you can use a pop-up timer, if you like), remove chicken from slow cooker and place in a large bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle. Drain the chicken and place on a work surface. Remove and discard skin, then shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Set shredded meat aside.
3
Return chicken bones to slow cooker, and continue to cook on HIGH for 30-40 minutes (this is a good time to prepare the table salad, if you haven't already!) Leaving broth in slow cooker, discard bones and strain the broth with a handled mesh strainer or kitchen tongs. Stir in fish sauce and taste broth for seasoning.
4
Add noodles to broth and set slow cooker to warm. Cover and let sit 4-6 minutes, stirring every now and then. Once noodle are cooked, remove them from broth with kitchen tongs and divide among 6 bowls. Top noodles with chicken and then ladle broth over each bowl. Serve with table salad and whatever condiments you fancy.
