I have a very fond memory of Chicken Manchow Soup, I was a kid when I first tasted this super delicious soup, So I use to participate in schools Arts & Literary Competitions and I stood first in one of the events, My parents were very happy and so my dad said lets have small treat so he went and got Chicken Manchow Soup and Chicken Lollipop from one of our favourite restaurant to celebrate it. And that was the day when I tasted this very tempting dish called as Chicken Manchow Soup since in our childhood days we use to hardly order anything from any restaurant may be once in 6 months or on some birthdays or anniversaries, so for us ordering something from restaurant use to be a special party unlike today where kids themselves order whatever and whenever they want to eat..

Heat a Wok or a Deep Kadhai and add around 1 tbsp of Oil, You can use normal refined oil or you may also use Olive oil if available. Heat this on a high flame to get a smoky flavour
