i started posting earlier about the one thing that makes me feel marginally better when i have the flu. i tried to find a recipe online, but i only found one for the chicken itself. i’m beginning to think it maybe a trinidadian bastardisation of a chinese dish. it’s called kai see mein soup. i found the kai see mein [chicken with noodles] recipe, which is way not what’s in the soup i get.
this soup, well broth might be a more appropriate description, is basically scalded vegetable, chicken cubes and noodles. and last year when i got the flu, i lived on it. i couldn’t stomach anything else.
this is the only description i can find online and it’s from a local chinese restaurant:
KAI SEE MEIN SOUP
Chicken, noodles and vegetables in a consommé.
as soon as i find and actual recipe, i’ll post it.
