Prep 23 min · Cook 83 min

1Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
2Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
3Add the chicken pieces and cook until they turn opaque on all sides, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4Pour in the 8 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat, which should take about 8 minutes.
5Reduce the heat to low, stir in the fish sauce, salt, and sugar, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to develop the flavors.
6While the broth simmers, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
7Divide the cooked noodles evenly among four bowls.
8Ladle the hot broth and chicken over the noodles in each bowl.
9Top each bowl with bean sprouts, chopped mint leaves, and optional red chili slices.
10Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
