My 2 in 1: Spicy White Radish & Carrot Meal and Easy Chicken Soup

Well, I'm created this recipe because I have a lot of white radish at home and I need to finish it before it ruined. So, I create this 2 in 1 recipe which is a Spicy White Radish & Carrot meal and Easy Chicken Soup. 

1 large white radish, julienne
1 large carrot, julienne
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chili flakes
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cups of water
Salt & Pepper for taste
A handful of chopped Chinese celery

1. Heat your cooking pan, and add the oil.
2. Then saute the garlic, for few sec.
3. Add the carrot, and the white radish. Mix it well.
4. You may add some water if its too dry.
5. Then add the chili flakes. You can reduce it if you don't want it too spicy.
6. Next, add 4 cups of water and let the white radish and carrot cook.
7. Add salt and pepper and taste it. Then turn off the fire.
8. Since we only need the white radish and carrot for this meal, use a colander to pour the soup into a soup pot. 
9. Now u can roughly mix the white radish and carrot in the colander with the chopped Chinese celery and serve it. 

As for the chicken soup, we will use the remain soup. Add 200g of chicken cube into the cooking pot and boil until the chicken cook.  You can add more water, salt, pepper and fish sauce if the taste is a bit bland. 

When everything is ready, serve the chicken soup into your soup bowl. As for me, I prefer to shred my chicken into the soup and sprinkle some fresh Chinese celery into the soup. 

With this idea, you can simple get 2 meal at once.
