I went heavier on the garlic and ginger, since I was making this for a relative who had a terrible chest cold. I also strengthened the broth by putting the chicken bones back in and simmering for an hour. Next time, I will make my broth in advance, chill it, and save the chicken fat, to use instead to saute the spices instead of vegetable oil.
