Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings
6 green onions, chopped
3 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger
1 garlic clove
1/8 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
10 cups (or more) cold water
2 ounces bean thread noodles*
1 pound partially frozen skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices
Sweet-and-Spicy Dipping Sauce
2 heads butter lettuce, leaves separated
1/2 cup finely shredded peeled carrots
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
*Clear dried noodles that are also known as cellophane or transparent noodles; available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of some supermarkets.

Steps:

Combine chicken wings, 2 green onions, ginger, garlic and peppercorns in large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover mixture by 2 inches. Bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently until liquid is reduced to 4 cups, about 2 1/2 hours. Strain broth into large glass measuring cup; discard solids. Season broth to taste with salt. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Spoon fat off top of broth. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
Using scissors, cut noodles into 3-inch lengths. Place in large bowl. Add enough hot water to cover; let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
Arrange sliced chicken on platter. Place Sweet-and-Spicy Dipping Sauce, lettuce leaves, carrots, mint, cilantro, remaining 4 chopped green onions and noodles in separate bowls.
Return broth to saucepan; bring to simmer. Transfer broth to fondue pot. Set pot over fondue burner and adjust heat so that broth simmers. Allow guests to simmer chicken slices in broth until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Serve with sauce, vegetables and noodles.

Tips:

Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for flavorful soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Sriracha sauce.
Adjust the heat level: The amount of Sriracha sauce you use will determine the heat level of the sauce. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
Use a variety of dipping options: This sauce is great for dipping a variety of foods, such as chicken, shrimp, spring rolls, and vegetables. You can also use it as a marinade or glaze.
Store leftovers properly: The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
