Chicken Collagen Soup


We have decided that as far as frozen packs of chicken collagen soup goes, Chu Collagen Soup does a very good version. The brand's Premium Chicken Collagen Soup and its Premium Prawn Mee Soup are what the man likes, so I usually stock two packs of each in the freezer. Each pack is 500ml and the volume is perfect for two persons. 

Tonight was one of those evenings when we didn't have any cravings for dinner, and we didn't want anything heavy because we over-ate for the past few days. So I took out a pack of chicken collagen soup to boil up and assemble dinner. Yup, I said 'assemble', because it was pretty much heating up food. Hahahaha. I'm brilliant at assembling meals. The real cooking, not so much. HAHAHAHA. #ImpieCooks2023

The fridge had half a head of hakusai/wongbok, and silken tofu. That was more than enough ingredients to sweeten that thick soup, and lent it some body. I usually add a bowl of water to it so that it wouldn't be congeal so badly as it cools. Also, that soup can be too chicken-ny for my tastebuds, so I tend to add things into it till it's a tolerable stink. Threw in four small abalones too. There, dinner done. 

There was a portion of cooked brown rice which had been kept in the freezer just for days like these. Heh. Thawed it out in the microwave. Broke out a sunny-side up for each of us (yup, Smol Girl got one), and layered that over the rice. Mmmmm. This was a rather satisfying dinner.
