Ingredients
  • 200 g Chicken breast
  • 3 litres of water
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 sprig of spring onion
  • 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
  • 10 dried red chillies
  • 1/4 cup cabbage, julienne cut
  • 1/4 cup carrots, julienne cut
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, cut into sticks
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, cut into small cubes
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons MSG (monosodium glutamate)
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/4 cup cornflour slurry (made by mixing cornflour with an equal amount of water)
  • 2 eggs
  • Spring onion, chopped, for garnish
Instructions

  1. - In a deep pot, place the chicken breast pieces. Next, create a spice ball using the dried red chillies, garlic cloves, and black peppercorns. Add this spice ball into the pot along with one sprig of spring onion.

  2. - Pour in 3 litres of water to the pot, ensuring the ingredients are fully submerged.
  3. - Cover the pot and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow the chicken to cook until it becomes tender, which should take about 20-25 minutes.
  4. - Once the chicken is cooked, carefully take it out of the pot and set it aside. Allow it to cool slightly, then cut it into small cubes.
  5. - Use a sieve to strain the broth into a separate bowl, discarding the spice ball and any solids. Return the clear broth to the pot.
  6. - Prepare your vegetables by cutting the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and red bell pepper as specified. Add these chopped vegetables to the pot with the broth.
  7. - Add the dark soy sauce, white vinegar, hot sauce, salt, MSG, and white pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine the flavors, then bring the soup to a boil.
  8. - Prepare the cornflour slurry by mixing cornflour with an equal amount of water. Gradually add this slurry to the boiling soup while stirring continuously. Continue until the soup reaches your desired thickness.
  9. - In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the soup. Wait for about 10 seconds, then gently stir the soup to create delicate ribbons of egg.
  10. - Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and garnish with chopped spring onion. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful chicken soup!
