Savory Fruit Bat Soup with Soy Infusion

1.In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2.Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pot, stirring for another minute until fragrant.

3.Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are soft, about 3-4 minutes.

4.Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.

5.Add the whole fruit bat to the pot, ensuring it is submerged in the broth. Simmer for 30-40 minutes until the meat is tender and fully cooked.

7.Stir in the soy sauce, bok choy, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the bok choy is tender.

8.Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
