Marinate 3.5 pounds of chicken with 6 tablespoons of black soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon five spice, and 5 garlic cloves for 15-20 minutes.

Chop green seasoning (thyme, green onions, basil, Broad Leaf thyme) and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet until hot.

Add ginger and Laos (galangal) to the skillet, followed by 2 Salam blood leaves and 2 chopped onions.

Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add 2 more tablespoons of black soy sauce to the chicken during cooking if needed for color.

Boil water in a pot for the noodles, adding oil to prevent sticking.

In the same skillet, add pepper, garlic, and Laos, followed by the cooked noodles and 2 tablespoons of green seasoning.

Add ketchup to the noodles for color and flavor, being cautious of saltiness.

Season with a dash of black pepper and salt, then stir everything together.

Fry the mixture on low heat for about 7-8 minutes, then add chopped celery before serving.
