Ingredients:
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled 4cm piece ginger, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 36.80 gm vegetable oil
  • 700g (4) boneless chicken thigh fillets
  • 2L (8 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) soy sauce
  • 12 frozen wontons or dumplings
  • 400g cooked Chinese-style egg noodles (such as shelf-ready thin hokkien noodles or cooked fresh thin Chinese egg noodles)
  • 4 baby pak choy, quartered lengthways
  • Thinly sliced long fresh red chilli, to serve
Instructions:
  • Blend together garlic, ginger, and peppercorns until a coarse paste forms using a mortar and pestle or small blender.
  • 1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil. Season the chicken with salt and cook each side for 2-3 minutes until it starts to color. 2. Stir in the garlic mixture and cook for about a minute until aromatic. 3. Add the stock, star anise, and soy sauce. 4. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Add wontons or dumplings and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are just cooked through. Then, drain them.
  • Place the noodles and pak choy in individual bowls and generously garnish with wontons or dumplings.
  • Using tongs, move the cooked chicken from the soup to a cutting board, slice it, and distribute it among bowls. Strain the soup to remove solids, season with salt or soy sauce as desired, then ladle the hot soup into the bowls. Finish by sprinkling sliced red chili before serving.
