Ingredients

4 tbsp Chili Sauce

11/2 tbsp Corn Starch

1 tbsp Soya Sauce

2 tbsp Vinegar

2 tbsp Capsicum Chopped

2 tbsp Spring Onions Chopped

2 tbsp Carrots Chopped

1/4 cup Chopped Cabbage

1 tsp Black Pepper Powder

A pinch MSG (Optional)

Salt to taste

 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock

2 eggs well beaten

4 cloves of garlic finely minced

½ inch of ginger finely minced

1 tbsp Spring onion green for garnish 

Process

1.     On high flame, heat oil in a wok and chopped ginger and garlic and fry till golden brown.

2.     Add sliced carrots, bell pepper and cabbage and toss for 2 mins.

3.     Add red chilli sauce, soy sauce, salt, black pepper and MSG (optional) and toss well.

4.      Add chicken/ vegetable stock and bring it to boil.

5.     Dissolve corn starch in 1/2 cup water and add to the soup stirring constantly till it becomes thick.

6.     Pour in the eggs slowly while stirring the soup in the same direction. The egg will spread and feather. Turn off the heat and add the green onions.

Note: 

If you want to add chicken to the soup, chicken has to be boiled separately and added right at the end. 

For my friends in India they can use SAM’s recd chilli sauce for this soup for those in USA  they can use Sriracha sauce.
