Assalamualaikum. Malam tadi kami suami isteri tak berapa boleh tido. Cuaca panas sangat sampai kipas dah pasang pun masih tak terasa angin. Air pula takde dari pagi semalam. Sampai sekarang masih takde air. Nasib baik kami berdua je, kalau ada anak yang ramai macam sorang jiran aku ni, tak ke naya. Tercari2 air akak tu hari ni. Kesian pula aku.

Resepi nasi berempah 2 in 1 hari tu ku gandingkan dengan sup ni. Biasanya aku masak sup ayam dengan rempah2 semua tapi kali ni ambil resepi mudah saja. Alhamdulillah sedap juga. Rasa kali pertama macam sup ayam kat sugar bun tapi rasa berkali2 jauh beza daaa..hihihi

Chicken Soup with Ginger and Shiitake Mushrooms Recipe
Recipe: simplyrecipes

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes

Typically for this recipe one would use bone-in chicken thighs hacked into big pieces with a cleaver, or with poultry shears. The bones help create flavor and richness for the stock. You can use boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. Or use bone-in, and then remove the bones after the chicken has cooked, before serving.

Ingredients
1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms (dried is much preferable to fresh in this recipe)
3 cups boiling water
1 to 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs, preferably bone-in, cut into chunks
A 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and sliced very thin
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
A pinch of salt
1 teaspoon corn starch
Carrot - mel tambah

Method
1 Soak the mushrooms in the hot water for 20 minutes. Use a bowl or a smaller pot to keep the mushrooms submerged in the water.

2 While the mushrooms are soaking, mix the soy, sugar, salt and corn starch in a large bowl. Make sure there are no corn starch lumps. Add the chicken and ginger to the bowl, toss to coat with the marinade, and set aside.

3 When the mushrooms have softened, remove from the water (saving the soaking liquid) and slice thin. Add the mushrooms into the bowl with the chicken. If the soaking water has grit in it, pour the soaking water though a fine-meshed sieve lined with a paper towel into another bowl.

4 Put the chicken mushroom mixture, and the mushroom soaking liquid into a pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a bare simmer, cover the pot and cook gently for 25 minutes. Serve hot.

Yield: Serves 3-4.
