1

Start by cutting the chicken leg quarter into four pieces and wash thoroughly with water.

2

In a pressure cooker, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and heat it.

3

Add 1 small chopped onion, 2 green chilies, and 3-4 chopped garlic cloves.

4

Sauté the ingredients until the chicken turns white, then cook for an additional 2 minutes to develop flavor.

5

Pour in 1.25 liters of water and cover the pressure cooker.

6

Cook for 5-6 minutes under pressure until the chicken is soft.

7

Remove the chicken and set it aside to cool, then shred it into small pieces, discarding the bones.

8

In the same pot, add a handful of egg noodles and a finely chopped carrot.

9

Cook on low heat for 10 minutes until the noodles are soft.

10

Return the shredded chicken to the pot.

11

Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of red chili sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of chicken powder, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper powder.

12

Mix well and wait for the soup to boil.

13

In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of corn flour with water to create a slurry.

14

Add the corn flour slurry to the soup to thicken it, stirring continuously.

15

Beat 1 egg and slowly add it to the soup while stirring to prevent clumping.

16

After 2 minutes, check the soup; the egg should be cooked and not visible in clumps.

17

Finally, add chopped green onions for flavor and garnish.
