Notes

Note 1 - Chicken stock: also known as chicken broth. This is the main liquid we need for the soup. You can use store bought chicken stock or use a powder to make your own. The powder is recommended over the stock cubes for its ability to dissolve rapidly and consistently in the liquid.
Note 2 - Soy sauce: the primary liquid for the soup is chicken stock or chicken broth. We then use both soy sauce and sesame oil as a means to add a depth of flavor to the stock. It is regular, not dark soy sauce that we need .
Note 3 : Sesame oil: aromatic and fragrant, this oil is a delightful ingredient to use across a wide variety of recipes. We only need a small amount of this and it does go a long way!
Note 4 - Frozen dumplings: these can be any flavor that you like. The dumplings that you see in the photo above are frozen pork and chive flavor.
Note 5 - Pak choy: this is the leafy green Asian vegetable that you see above. We do cut a small amount off the base and then use both the leaves and the stems of the vegetable.
Note 6 - Mushrooms: I like to use Swiss brown mushrooms for this recipe. They have a great colour and robust chewy texture. All we need to do is slice them and add them to the hot pot.
Note 7 - Green onions: we use some of the firmer white and green parts in the soup and then slice the top darker green parts to top the soup with. You can discard the roots and top tips.
Note 8 - Noodles: instant noodles, also known as ramen noodles without the seasoning are easy and quick!
Note 9 - Chilli oil: this is optional! As it is hot, quite hot 😂😂. It is a great way to garnish the final noodle bowls for serving.
