And this soup is SPICY hot too – red chili peppers and ground white pepper ensure lots of tongue-tingling heat!This filling Hot and Sour Chicken Noodle Soup will make your taste buds tingle!

A simple and quick soup to make, all of the ingredients are added to the pan in stages, and the flavor develops in super-fast time.

We used chicken in this version, but shredded pork works really well too.

If you want to make a vegetarian version, simply leave out the chicken entirely (you can replace it with tofu if you like), and swap the chicken stock for vegetable stock.

This soup is packed with mushrooms, but add other veggies too if you like – snow peas, broccoli, and pak choi work particularly well.

Directions to prepare a delicious chicken noodle soup:

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add in the mushrooms and cook on a medium-to-high heat for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms start to brown. Add in the bamboo shoots and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add in 2/3 of the chilies, garlic, ginger, white pepper, and sugar. Stir together and heat for 2 minutes, then add in the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and hot stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes.Hot and sour chicken noodle soup step1 collage2. Add the cooked chicken and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Then stir the soup in one direction so that it’s swirling around in the pan. Whilst it’s swirling, pour in the egg in a thin stream. It should feather out and cook immediately. Add in the noodles and cook for a further 2 minutes to heat through. If you’d like your soup to be thicker, you can stir in some of the cornstarch slurry until thickened to your liking.
