HOT AND SOUR SOUP

Hot and Sour Soup image

Recipe video above. A firm Chinese starter favourite! A glossy soup broth that's savoury, sour and as spicy as you want it to be, filled with mushrooms, tofu and bamboo shoots. Skip the chicken to make it meat free, or add shrimp/prawns or fish pieces. Serves 6 - 8 as a starter, or 4 as a light meal.

HOT AND SOUR BROTH WITH SHREDDED CHICKEN

Hot and Sour Broth with Shredded Chicken image

This is a version of the classic Chinese hot and sour soup. Unlike the traditional version, though, this broth is very light. If you cannot find the mushrooms or other ingredients, improvise.

Very good and very easy to make Asian soup. My husband is a chef, and he said that this was fantastic! (He's hard to impress.) We finished the pot in one sitting.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 cups chicken broth
½ cup water
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup sliced bamboo shoots, drained
3 slices fresh ginger root
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons soy sauce
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth, water, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and hot pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer while you assemble the rest of the ingredients.
Place the chicken slices into a bowl and toss with the sesame oil to coat. In a separate bowl, stir together the cornstarch and vinegar, and set aside.
Increase the heat under the broth to medium-high, and return to a rolling boil. Add the chicken slices. Return to a boil, and then drizzle in the egg while stirring slowly to create long strands of egg. Stir in the vinegar and cornstarch. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and the broth has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. Serve garnished with green onions and cilantro.
