Manchow Soup

When it comes to soup this is my absolute favourite. Lots of vegetables and the right amount of heat, Manchow soup is a perfect winter treat.




Ingredients:
2tbs oil
2tbs garlic, finely chopped
1tbs ginger, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
5 cups stock/ water
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 medium capsicum, finely chopped
6 french beans, finely chopped
5 mushrooms, finely sliced
1 chicken breast, boiled and shredded
1/2tsp white pepper powder
1tbs soya sauce
2tbs red chilli sauce
salt to taste
1/4tsp sugar
3tbs cornflour
1/2 egg, well beaten
1tbs vinegar
50gms noodles

Method:
Boil the noodles. When cold deep fry till golden.
Heat oil in a saucepan. Saute the ginger, garlic, green chilli and spring onion(whites) for 2mins.
Add the stock, vegetables and salt and bring to a boil. Add the seasonings, sauces, chicken and simmer for 4-5mins.
Mix the cornflour in 2-3tbs water and add to soup. Mix till thick.
Add the egg in a thin stream, stirring continuously. Mix well. Remove from heat. Stir in the vinegar.
Garnish with spring onion greens and fried noodles and serve hot.

Notes:
This recipe is adapted from one of my Sanjeev Kapoor books.
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the chicken and egg.
