Poached egg and chicken broth recipe



Ingredients (Serves 4)


  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 table spoon sesame oil
  • 1 table spoon fish sauce
  • 1 table spoon oyster sauce
  • 2 table spoons soya sauce
  • 1.5litres water
  • 1 finely chopped carrot
  • Handful of sweetcorn
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 spring onion


Steps


  • Simply add ingredients 1-7 in a deep pan and leave to boil for 20mins
  • Once the stock has thickened slightly, add the carrots and sweetcorn and boil for a further 10mins
  • Add salt and pepper
  • Now, crack the eggs in the pan. Bring to boil for 6 mins (If you do not feel confident about poaching the egg in the broth, then you can do this step separately and add the eggs later) 
  • Garnish with spring onions and serve


Serve hot and, I rarely say this, take your time and eat! Remember, this may be a main event recipe, but is still a first course serve- so pace yourself!
