Chicken Soup Noodle

When my husband feels sick, I cook him chicken soup. Actually, every time I make chicken soup, it’s possibly to leave some over. So I keep the left soup in a jar and stored in fridge. Stored chicken soup can be used to cook. And the easiest one is to cook noodles.


This is the fresh soup not the stored one.

It’s easy to make chicken soup. 

Put chicken in a deep pot. Add in enough water and several ginger slices. Turn to high heat at first. When the soup boiled, turn to low height. If you want really good chicken soup, you’d better cook it for at least one hour. The soup will taste really great. I cooked it for about one hour and a half. And add some salt to it, or it will be plain. I also added several shiitake, because I really like it.

You can cook noodle when chicken soup is almost done. Just cook noodle with water. When noodle is cooked. Take it out and drain. After drained, put noodle in a bowl. 

Scoop some chicken soup and add to noodle in the bowl. If you like, you can add some green vegetables and chopped spring onion. 


My husband are it all, even he’s sick. It’s very nutritious.

Chinese Fried Spring Onion Pancake


If you ask me what are the food I miss most in my hometown, fried spring onion is definitely one of them.

It’s not hard to make. But I never make the ones as good as my mom makes.

1. Mix flour with some warm water. Make it a round dough and cover with plastic wrap for around 20 mins to let water and flour mix well. My mom told me I should add in some oil too. Or the pancake will taste a bit dry. Turns out she’s true.

2. Divide dough into several evenly-sized small ones.

3. Use a rolling pin to make small dough big and thin. 

4. Spread oil, salt, black pepper and chopped spring onion on it evenly.


5. Roll it from one end to the other.



6. Roll it up from one end to the other.


7. And use rolling pin to make it a little flatter.


8. Fry in pan till both side golden brown.


I think my mom is right. It taste a bit dry. Maybe I should’ve add fold in some oil in dough.
