Soup

 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| 4 1/2 oz (125 g) boneless
chicken breast |
| 4 egg whites |
| 2 1/2 tsp cornstarch (corn
flour) |
| 1 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
|
| 1/2 tsp pepper |
| 4 cups (1 liter) clear stock
|
| 2 oz (50 g) Chinese cabbage
hearts |
| 1 tsp Chinese ham, chopped
|
| 3/4 tsp MSG |
|
|
| |
- Use the upper edge of a cleaver
to chop the chicken breast into
a paste or a velvet, or use a
food processor. Place in a bowl.
- Beat the egg whites lightly
and mix with the cornstarch. Add
a little water to the chicken
and stir to separate the chicken
flesh. Stir in the egg white mixture,
1 tsp of the salt, 1/2 tsp of
the MSG, the pepper, and 1/4 cup
(60 ml) of the stock, 1 ingredient
at a time. Stir into a paste.
- Pour the stock into a saucepan
and heat to boiling. Add the remaining
1/4 tsp MSG and 1/2 tsp salt.
Then stir in the chicken paste
and return to a boil, then turn
the heat to low and simmer for
10 minutes, or until the chicken
paste turns white and resembles
very soft bean curd puree.
|
| |
- Blanch the cabbage hearts briefly
in boiling water and rinse in
cold water. Drain and cut each
crosswise into two halves. Place
in a large soup tureen. Add the
chicken soup. Sprinkle with the
chopped ham, and serve.
