Chicken Hot & Sour Soup | Winter Special Recipe | By Yes I Like Cooking

chicken breast

🥗Healthier: skinless chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: canned chicken

Thighs are often more flavorful and cheaper than breasts.

shiitake mushrooms

🥗Healthier: button mushrooms

💰Cheaper: dried mushrooms

Button mushrooms are more accessible and still provide a good texture.

tofu

🥗Healthier: tempeh

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Tempeh offers a firmer texture and higher protein.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier and more versatile.

Heat water in a large pot until boiling.

Add chopped chicken and cook until no longer pink.

Stir in chopped capsicum, carrots, grated cabbage, and spring onion; cook for a few minutes.

Add minced garlic and black pepper to the pot.

Mix soy sauce, white vinegar, and chilli/hot sauce in a small bowl; add to the pot.

In a separate bowl, whisk corn flour with a little water until smooth; stir into the soup to thicken.

Slowly drizzle in the egg white while stirring gently.

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or soy sauce if needed.

Remove from heat and serve hot.
