soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

Low-sodium options are better for reducing salt intake.

Heat a pan on the stove and add 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil.

Add 1 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste and sauté until light golden.

Add 2 green chilies, 1 small carrot cut into two pieces, 1 inch of ginger, and the white part of 1 green onion to the pan and fry for 1-2 minutes on medium heat.

Add 300 grams of chicken to the pan and mix well.

Fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes until the color turns white and the smell goes away.

Add 1 liter of water to the pan to create chicken stock and mix well.

Once the stock starts bubbling, remove any foam that forms on top with a spoon to keep the stock clear.

Cover the pan and let the stock simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove the lid and strain out the vegetables and chicken from the stock.

Let the chicken cool to room temperature, then shred it into pieces, keeping some pieces chunky and some finely shredded.

In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of white vinegar, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3-4 tablespoons of red chili sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.

In another bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water until smooth and set aside.

Bring the chicken stock back to a boil and add the shredded chicken.

Remove any foam that forms on top again.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, being cautious as the sauces already contain salt.

Finely chop 1/2 cup of bell pepper, 1/2 cup of carrot, and 1/2 cup of cabbage and add them to the stock.

Cover the pan and let the vegetables soften for 2 minutes on low heat.

After 2 minutes, uncover the pan and stir the soup, then add the prepared sauces and cornstarch mixture to thicken the soup.
