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.

Hot Tips

Crispy potato pancakes

When making potato pancakes wring out the excess moisture in the potatoes (after you grate them) in a clean, dry tea towel. This will ensure a crisp batter.

Glossary

Wombok

Chinese Cabbage used in soup, stir-fry or add to stuffing. It has a mild flavour with tender pale green leaves and crisp white stems. Shred finely for soups or cut into thicker pieces for stir-fries.
