ABOUT Quick Burmese Soup RECIPE

I cannot call it a Khauk-swey because it has no noodles in it, nor have I bothered with all the condiments that are added to a khauk-swey soup. Neither have I used roasted gramflour to thicken it. This is simple, light, very filling and tastes delicious.

Instructions

Boil a few pieces of chicken on the bone for about half an hour to make a rich, flavourful stock. The secret of this soup lies in the slow simmering. But you may pressure cook too to speed it up.
Take the chicken out of the stock and remove the meat from the bones.
Heat oil and fry sliced onions till translucent. Add the chicken meat along with ginger-garlic pastes.
Slow fry till onion-ginger-garlic well mixed and the raw smell has gone
Add a little fish sauce and soya sauce.
Add the chicken broth and let it simmer till everything mixed well together.
Add thick coconut milk and simmer for another five minutes. Ifyou want it thicker then add some cornflour.
Ladle into a bowl and have topped with chopped spring onions, fried garlic, fresh coriander, chilli oil, lime juice, chopped boiled eggs, prawn sambal, chilli oil or whatever catches your fancy or is convenient and tasty.
