Instructions
 

  • Submerge the chilis in hot tap water (about 210 °F) for10 minutes, until soft.
  • Remove the stems and put chilis in a blender or food processor with water and blend until smooth.
  • Add minced garlic to pureed chilis and blend until smooth.
  • Strain the chili sauce through a fine mesh colander. Discard seeds and skin caught by strainer, and reserve chili sauce for use in Step 7.
    For 50 servings, resulting chili paste should yield about 1 ⅛ cups.
    For 100 servings, resulting chili paste should yield about 2 ¼ cups.
  • Heat a steam-jacked kettle or stock pot to medium-high heat. Add the oil and diced onion and stir to combine. Sauté onions for about 10 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent
  • Add water to onions and bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken base and stir to combine and make sure the base is dissolved. Add chicken, hominy, oregano, and reserved chili sauce from Step 4. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
    Critical Control Point: Heat to an internal temperature of 165 °F for at least 15 seconds. Hold for hot service at 140 °F or higher through service.
  • Portion soup into bowls using an 8 oz ladle. Top each bowl with ½ cup total cabbage, radish, and fresh onion.
