Omitted the chicken and added a poached egg. Can also substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth for a satisfying vegetarian meal.
Great recipe. I increased each measurement by 4, opted for white wine, added 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 1/4 minced shallot, a pinch of celery salt, an extra 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, extra spinach, minus noodles and sweetcorn. Delicious!
My veg version used Trader Joe's ginger-miso broth. I sautéed mushrooms, tofu, baby corn, ginger, shallot, and leek. Then, I added white wine, broth, and a bit of soy sauce. Baby spinach was last in the pot with a small bit of sesame oil. I topped my bowl with a little green scallion. This time I left out the chili and the peas, but they will be great in subsequent versions. I can't wait to make this again! A very flexible recipe.
good but chicken needs seasoning or marination
Subbed out kale for the spinach, sautéed the pepper/scallion/ginger plus some garlic and shiitakes prior to adding, the decided to turn into a hot and sour by adding a bit of rice vinegar and hoisin sauce. Otherwise by the book-wow!
Good! Nice tangy flavor. Sauted mushrooms. 1” chopped fresh garlic and one clove garlic , 1 head thinly sliced broccoli in olive oil. Added 1 1/2 breast cooked chopped chicken, 2 1/2T soy sauce, 2T sherry cooking wine, 1/2 pepper seeded and chopped. Stirred for a few minuted then added 40oz chicken broth and heated to boiling. Added odon noodles the chopped pea pods and spinach and boiled for a few min.
