Ingredients

  • Chicken breast - 200 grams
  • Broccoli florets - 150 grams
  • Carrot - 1 medium, thinly sliced
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
  • Chicken broth - 500 milliliters
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
  • Egg - 1, beaten
  • Vegetable oil - 3 tablespoons
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Green onions - 2, chopped for garnish

Steps

  1. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and season with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with cornstarch and mix until well-coated.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and fry until golden and crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Add the sliced carrot and broccoli florets to the pan, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
  7. In a small bowl, beat the egg and slowly drizzle it into the simmering soup while stirring to create egg ribbons.
  8. Add the crispy chicken back into the soup and stir gently. Drizzle with sesame oil and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
