Combine chicken mince, water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, oyster sauce and coriander in a medium bowl. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls, so they are slightly smaller than a golf ball.

to a bowl.

Add chicken stock, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, cinnamon, star anise, sugar, peppercorns and orange rind to the pan. Bring to the boil.

Reduce heat to low, cook for 10 minutes to develop the flavours. Remove and discard solid ingredients.

Return chicken meatballs to pan. Add noodles, carrot and bok choy. Bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes or until tender.

Divide soup among serving bowls.

Top with spring onion, coriander and sambal oelek.
