Spicy Thai chicken soup

Making:

Spicy Thai chicken soup 

2 servings prepared as a full dinner but could feed 4 in smaller portions.

Here's what I have:

Gourmet Garden marinade mix:
3 tbsp Thai seasoning stir in paste
1 tsp garlic paste 
1 tsp lemongrass paste
0.5 oz plum syrup 

Meat: 
2.5 lbs chicken tenders cubed
***
1.5 os salt pork cubed

Soup:
2 oz mirin
1 oz Yondu
4 oz spicy chicken broth 
16 oz water
4 cups leeks
1 cup chopped carrots 
2.5 tbsp Garlic marinated in chilli oil

Garnish:
Danmuji 

Preparation:

A nonstick pan as well as a small stock pot would be used for the preparation of this meal.

The chicken was marinated in a container  with all of the wet items listed along with it. This was left to sit in the fridge for 2 hours before cooking.

To start the water was brought to a boil in the stock pot and the carrots and garlic were added. The temperature was then turned down to medium heat with the lid on.

The non-stick pan was put on at medium Heat the salt pork was added to the pan and cooked until the fat was rendered down partially. Then the marinated chicken was added to the non-stick pan along with it. This was cooked for about 10 minutes turning halfway through.  A lid was placed over the chicken and my attention was turned back to the carrot broth.  The Miren, yondu, spicy broth and leeks were added to the stock pot. After mixing it was then turn down to a simmer so I could finish cooking the chicken.

Back to the non-stick pan, the chicken was turned making sure to break the pieces up so that they could all cook evenly. This took about 4 additional minutes. And then the heat was turned up too high to cook down some of the excess liquid. You could also leave the excess liquid for the chicken instead of cooking it to at the gravy. Cooking it down intensifies the flavor.

To prepare the bowls the chicken was divided in half and added to the bowls. The vegetables were added to the other half and then broth poured over the vegetables. The soup was garnished with Danmuji.

The bowl!



This is a pretty simple but spicy chicken soup that works really well when it's cooler outside or you need something spicy to clear up your sinuses.
