- Save broth for soup.
- Allow chicken to cool.
- Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces and serve with oyster sauce as a dip.
- Garnish with 2-3" of long, green onions, then pour 2-3 Tblsp.
- hot oil over it.
- Use oyster sauce or soy sauce.
- This dish is also good cold.
- One variation is to add Chinese dried mushrooms while simmering.
