Preparation

Crack the quail egg into a small bowl. Place the sliced chicken, pork, kidney, squid, mushrooms, Chinese-cured pork, baby bok choy, spring onion, garlic chives, tofu skin, pickled vegetables and rice noodles on individual plates. Arrange on the serving table.

To make the broth, over medium-high heat, fill a large pot with water. Add the whole chicken, garlic and ginger, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 hours, skimming any impurities from the surface. Remove and reserve the cooked chicken. When slightly cool, chop into pieces. Season the broth with salt and soy sauce. Transfer the broth to a large bowl.

To assemble, add the quail egg to the broth, followed by the sliced chicken, pork, kidney and squid. Next, add the cooked chicken, mushrooms, Chinese-cured pork, baby bok choy, spring onion, garlic chives, tofu skin, pickled vegetables, and, finally, the rice noodles.

Divide the soup among serving bowls. Garnish with coriander.
