Method
1. Heat oil in a pan. Add all vegetables and stir fry for 2 minutes on high flame.
2. Add chicken broth/seasoning cube, water (as required), soya sauce, red chilli sauce, vinegar, pepper powder, ajinomoto, salt and chicken/shrimps and bring it to a boil.
3. Then reduce the heat & add corn starch paste. Keep stiring until the soup thickens a bit. 4. Remove from heat after 5 minutes. For garnishing use spring onions.
Tips
- Similarly if you want to add egg, you can add it once the soup begins to boil and before adding corn starch. - Just for variation, I have shredded all veggies instead of chopping them here in this soup. You can use chopped veggies as well. Post Your Comments |
