清淡汤 (Qingdan Tang)
Qingdan Tang is the perfect light and nourishing dish to enjoy tonight, bringing warmth and clarity to your dinner table.
Start by bringing 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add 200 grams of chicken breast to the pot.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, add 5 slices of ginger to infuse the flavor into the broth.
Remove the chicken from the pot and allow it to cool slightly before shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
Strain the broth to remove the ginger slices and any impurities, returning the clear soup to the pot.
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of salt to the broth, adjusting to taste.
Chop the green onions and sprinkle them into the soup as a fresh garnish.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Qingdan Tang!
