Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients by slicing the chicken breast into thin strips, peeling and deveining the shrimp, slicing the onion, mincing the garlic, julienning the carrot, and chopping the cabbage and green onions.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the carrot and cabbage. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the soup to thicken it.

Step 9

Crack the egg into a bowl and beat it lightly. Slowly pour the beaten egg into the pot while stirring consistently to create thin strands.

Step 10

Season the soup with salt and black pepper, then add the cooked noodles to the pot and stir to combine.
