Method

This tasty Asian-style chicken broth is full of aromatic, fresh flavours and you'll definitely be adding it to your 'cook again' list. The recipe serves four but it can be easily doubled, so you can have leftovers the next day.

  1. Pour the stock into a large pan and add the (skinless) chicken, ginger, garlic and half the chilli. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and partially cover. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, with no pink showing. Remove the chicken and shred.
  2. Add the corn and peppers to the broth and simmer for 3 minutes before adding the mushrooms and shredded chicken. Stir in the fish sauce and the lime juice. Ladle into bowls and top each with a handful of spring onions, a little of the remaining chilli and some coriander leaves.
