    This soup was in my
    mind ever since I had it one of the restaurant which we went recently. That was
    the first time I heard and tasted this yummy goodness. It was spicy at the same
    time it has lots of flavours in it. The whole soup was finished with a crispy
    noodle topping which really made it. I wanted to recreate this soup and post it
    here.So I made this one night and had it with grilled chicken sandwich and baked chicken nuggets. They were delicious.

    This was perfect on
    a cold day and I hope you will love it too.

    Ingredients:
    Oil - 1 tblspn
    Ginger - 1 tblspn
    minced
    Garlic - 3 fat
    cloves minced
    Spring onion - 2
    chopped finely
    Carrot - 1 shredded
    Cabbage - 1 cup
    shredded
    Celery - 1 stick
    shredded
    Green Bell Pepper /
    Capsicum - 1 shredded
    Soy Sauce - to taste
    Red Chilli Paste -
    to taste ( I took some dry red chillies and ground it with some water)
    Vinegar - to taste
    Salt,Sugar, Pepper
    to taste
    Chicken - ¾ kg
    Turmeric Powder - 1
    tsp
    Corn Starch / Corn
    Flour - 2 tblspn
    Egg - 2
    For
    Garnishing:
    Raw Noodles  fried
    Spring Onion - green
    part chopped finely
    Method:
    First make  the chicken stock. Take a pressure cooker add
    chicken along with some turmeric powder and salt. Add lots of water and
    pressure cook it for 5-6 whistle. Now let the pressure go all by itself. Open
    the pressure cooker and filter the stock. Now remove the flesh from the chicken
    and set aside. Throw away the bones and reserve it for your dog.
    Now heat oil in a
    deep pot. Add in ginger, garlic, spring onion and saute for couple of mins.
    Add in the shredded
    veggies and cook for 5-10 mins till the raw smell goes away.
    Now add in red
    chilli paste, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper and mix well.
    Pour the chicken
    stock in this and mix well. Bring this to a boil.
    Now add in the
    cooked chicken and mix well.
    Now mix cornflour
    with some cold water and pour that into the soup. Now the soup must have
    thickened.
    Now beat eggs and
    pour it over the soup while mixing constantly. This will make the egg form into
    threads.
    Switch off the flame
    and ladle the soup into some bowls.
    Sprinkle some fried
    noodles over it with some spring onion.
    Serve hot.
