Chinese Chicken Soup

This is an elevated version of chicken soup, with all the unique umami flavors of Chinese. The best part? The topping makes the whole thing look super fancy, even though this is probably one of the easiest soups you can throw together.

Directions

Prepare the Chinese Chicken Soup

  1. Pour sesame oil in a pot. Let it heat up for a bit, then add the scallions, ginger, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer until scallions and garlic start getting slightly charred.

  2. Add soy sauce and chili sauce, if using, and allow to simmer. Add the coleslaw and zucchini and mix. Sauté for two minutes.

  3. Place the chicken in a bag and put it in the pot. Then add water or broth, chicken soup mix, if using, rice vinegar, and honey to the pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook for one hour.

  4. Uncover, stir in the lemon juice and mirin, and pour in the beaten eggs while

    stirring constantly so that they cook in pieces in the water.

Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce

  1. Prepare the hot honey sauce by mixing the ingredients in a bowl. Remove the

    chicken from the bag and shred it using two forks. Toss the chicken with the

    sauce. Spread it out on a baking sheet and place it in the oven on high broil for three to five minutes.

  2. Remove the pan from the oven, flip the chicken, and broil for another three minutes.

  3. Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with crispy chicken, scallions, and sesame seeds for a beautiful presentation.
