Green Mustard Chicken Soup

Green mustard is called "kai choy" in cantonese. This vegetable is one of my favorites as it can be stir-fred just by itself "ching chau" or with anything like seafood or anything you desire. There is a dish which is very famous in Malaysia and Singapore, whenever you have a lot of leftovers especially after festival season like CNY or of a wedding banquet. Yes!!! you know what I'm talking about, it is Chinese Green Mustard Vegetable Stew/Choy Keok. But today I want something light "ching" that's why I make it as soup with chicken. I hope you like it too.
