Shredded Chicken? Perfect for my Chicken Soto (soup type but yummy)

Shredded Chicken any amount
1 x Onion :finely sliced
3 x garlic : finely sliced
2 slices of ginger (1 inch)
1 x cube of chicken stock or 2 teaspoon of chicken stock
Bit of cooking oil
white pepper
Chopped spring onion (optional)

- Fry all the sliced items in the pot til brown but not burnt
- Once u get the nice aroma, pour in some water for broth
- Add in the chicken cube/chicken stock
- Add in the pepper
- Add in the chicken
- Salt to taste

U can eat it on its own like a soup or u can eat it with rice or rice cube. U can also add chili paste if u like it hot and spicy.

To make rice cube:
- Boil 2 cups of rice.
- Take a flat pan/tray and lay a clean piece of cloth on it. Ensure that it is big coz u will have to cover the top of rice later.
- Put the boil rice on the cloth and flatten the boiled rice evenly.
- Cover the rice with the remaining cloth from the sides.
- Further flatten the rice evenly using your hand or any other tool.
- Chill it in the fridge. Once rice is stuck together, cut and cubed them 2cm x 2cm.

Chilli paste for chicken soto:
7 Small green chilli
3 garlic
- mash these 2 items finely, scoop it up in a small bowl and add 1 teaspoon of sugar, pour in some soy sauce. Stir and mix well and it's done.

How to eat the whole thing?
Grab a bowl, put some rice cube in it, pour in your chicken soto soup and voila. If u want to add the chili paste, just add a little first in your bowl to test your taste bud. Mix them all and enjoy.
