Spicy Chicken Broth with Rice n Noodles

This one was there on the shelf to be written and posted since long.
Almost a month. Like all my recipes this one has a story too.
I discovered this recipe in a natural process of "flickering mind".

There was a party at home on Sunday. We got boneless chicken.
I took aside for about 10 pieced and freezed them.
With the rest i've prepared Mint n Peppery Pudina chicken curry.
That is one more equisite recipe and would post soon.

Coming back to my chicken broth.
I was back from a super tiring dance session n needless to say was dead hungry.
Gas ran out and i had two tools : Microwave n electric rice cooker.

Resources were plentiful : Raw chicken cubes, spring onion, mushroom, green chillies, capsicum.
They were enough to put my mind racing.
It was raining heavily outside and was chilly.
I started out to prepare Chicken Noodle Soup.

I've boiled noodles in the microwave, made chicken broth in the electric rice cooker.
Sauted vegetables and sauces in the microwave.
Half way through i've decided i have no patience to prepare another dish for dinner.

So i've decided to go for a chicken broth with rice n noodles.
Soup was was halfway done and i just added more water to make it a full broth
Boiled basmati rice with some olive oil and salt in electric rice cooker.

The combination of this simple stuff was awesome.
