Ingredients


• ½ carrot
• 6 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup (about 5oz) cooked shredded chicken (left-over BBQ/rotisserie chicken is perfect)
• 7oz mixed mushrooms (e.g. shitake and enoki)
• 3.5oz firm tofu, sliced
• 3.5oz bamboo shoot strips
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• ¼ cup light soy sauce
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch), mixed with 3 tbsp water
• Sea salt
• Finely chopped spring onion (scallions), to serve

Instructions

1) Use a julienne peeler to shave thin strips of carrot into a saucepan.

2) To the carrot, add the chicken, mushrooms, tofu, bamboo shoots and chicken stock. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Add pepper, soy sauces and vinegar. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until mushrooms are just softened.

3) Add cornstarch mixture to the soup and stir. Simmer for another 3 minutes to thicken. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning to your taste. Add salt, vinegar and pepper to your liking. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with spring onion.
