Receta Hot and WHAT…? Hot and sour, one of my all-time favourite soups
Ingredientes
- 1 onion, cut into large-ish pieces (bigger than diced; imagine eating a piece when cooked and cut them to the size you like)
- 2-4 slices fresh ginger (or cubes of frozen Israeli ginger)
- 2-4 cloves fresh garlic, crushed (or frozen cubes, or what we call “jarlic”)
- 10-12 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced (matchstick)
- ½ cup matchstick-sliced carrots
- ½ cup red pepper, cut up into nice, soup-sized pieces (optional)
- ½ cup frozen corn kernels
- 2 baby bok choy heads (in a pinch, substitute Romaine)
- leaves removed, shredded, and set aside
- stems sliced like celery
- Tin of bamboo shoots, if desired and available, matchstick-sliced
- 6 cups flavourful pareve, chicken or beef broth, seitan cooking water, or anything flavourfully neutral
- 4 tbsp good soy sauce (shoyu or a nice brand, not no-name)
- 2 tbsp mirin if available, or 1tbsp dry sherry if not, but it’s better with mirin
- TO TASTE: 4 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar (hint: “seasoned” = “sugar,” but a bit of that is okay)
- TO TASTE: 1 tsp tabasco sauce, sriracha and/or 2 tsp red pepper flakes
- TO TASTE: 1 tbsp white or black pepper To finish:
- ¼ cup water or cooled broth
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2-3 eggs, beaten
- Chopped green onions for garnish
- Toasted sesame oil, for garnish How to make it:
