2. Cook the Chicken: Next, add the minced chicken breast to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Pour in the sesame oil and season with salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

3. Prepare the Broth: Once the chicken is cooked, gradually add water or chicken broth to the skillet. For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth made from simmering chicken bones.

4. Add the Tofu: Allow the broth to come to a gentle boil. Once boiling, carefully add the diced tofu, stirring gently to prevent it from breaking apart. Let it simmer for a few minutes to heat through and absorb the flavors.

5. Incorporate the Leeks: After a few minutes, add the chopped leeks to the skillet. Let them simmer in the broth until they are tender yet still vibrant, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Prepare the Chili Soy Sauce: While the soup is simmering, prepare a simple chili soy sauce for serving. Finely chop some fresh bird’s eye chilies and mix them with soy sauce in a small bowl.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the warm soup into bowls, ensuring each serving gets a generous amount of chicken, tofu, and leeks. Drizzle with the chili soy sauce for an extra kick. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of this delicious dish!
