Soup Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Begin by cooking the chicken breast in a pot of boiling water for about 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from water and let it cool slightly before shredding it into bite-size pieces.
Base of the Soup
In a large pot, combine the chicken broth and water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add Vegetables
Once the broth is boiling, add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots, carrots, and green onions. Reduce the heat to medium, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Season the Soup
Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Allow to simmer for another 3 minutes.
Thickening the Soup
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to form a slurry. Gradually stir this slurry into the soup to thicken it. Let it cook for 2 more minutes.
Final Adjustments
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary with more salt, pepper, or Sriracha. Remove from heat and serve hot.
