Recipe Notes
Few important points -
If you wish to use chicken with bone, then during shredding chicken step, discard the bones. I do not prefer soup of chicken bones.
if you really want that white color in your soup, then note the below points.
1- Do not add the black pepper in the beginning while preparing stock.
2 - Do not over brown the garlic.
3. Avoid carrot
Always add the vineger and soya sauce (If needed) just before serving.
The key ingredient is most of Chinese soups is Ajinomoto, I haven’t used it in this recipe’. I don’t prefer to add this ingredient. If you have it, then use one generous pinch of it.
