Instructions

- Return shredded chicken to the pot, stir, and rewarm for 1 minute. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or extra soy sauce if needed.
- Divide soup among bowls, top with reserved scallion greens, and drizzle with about 1 tbsp of soy-vinegar sauce per serving. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust chili oil to your spice preference.
- Extra scallion greens add freshness and crunch.
