Hints & Tips

We hope you find them useful.

Delicious! Broths are my favourite kind of soup

I used 2 skinless chicken breasts instead of thighs, and chicken stock instead of water. I found the oyster sauce added enough sweetness for my taste, so left out the honey & sweet chilli sauce, but added some hot chilli sauce instead!
