Spicy Chicken Soup recipe – enjoy as a nourishing dish when you're craving something hot and hearty!
Add 600ml of water and chicken breast to a pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove the chicken, shred it along the grain, and set aside the broth.
Cut the green onions into long pieces about 5cm, tear the oyster mushrooms along the grain, and rinse the bean sprouts, removing excess water. Prepare these ingredients for cooking.
Heat a pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 2 tablespoons chili powder. Stir for 1 minute to prevent the chili oil from burning and enhance its flavor.
Add shredded chicken, green onion, and mushrooms to the chili oil and stir-fry for 1 more minute so everything is well mixed. Then pour in the prepared chicken stock and turn the heat to high.
Once the soup comes to a rolling boil, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce for soup and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes so all the flavors are infused.
Finally, add the bean sprouts and cook for 2 more minutes to keep them crisp. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
