Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken broth (see note)
- 1 cup shredded chicken (see note)
- 1 cup cole slaw mix (see note)
- ½ green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (see note)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup corn starch
- ¼ cup water
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 4 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- ¼ cup green onions
Instructions
- Pour the broth, shredded chicken, cole slaw mix, bell pepper, salt, and pepper into a cooking pot.
- Heat the mixture until it bubbles, then reduce the flame to medium.
- Heat the oil in a separate saucepan, and then add the ketchup, red chili powder, soy sauce, and vinegar (in that order) to the oil and cook until you have a well-blended mixture.
- Add this Chili sauce to the soup and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- make a slurry of the corn flour and water and add to the soup, stirring constantly to thicken.
- Once the soup has reached the desired consistency, beat the eggs and drizzle slowly into the hot soup, stirring gently to make ribbons.
- garnish with the spring onions and serve.
Notes
Broth - I prefer to cook and use homemade chicken broth, but if you're short on time, you can use store-bought broth.
Chicken - Shredded chicken from the homemade broth or rotisserie chicken as a shortcut are both great options for the soup.
Cole Slaw Mix - Traditional Indo-Chinese Hot and Sour soup has shredded cabbage and carrots. Cole slaw mix is much easier than chopping and cutting, so I prefer to use it, adding some finely sliced bell pepper to the mix.
Salt - If you're using store-bought broth, buy the unsalted version and adjust the seasoning as needed. On the other hand, if you're using home cooked broth and it has salt, you may need to adjust the amounts suggested in this recipe.
