HOW MUCH SODIUM IN HOT AND SOUR SOUP RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in hot water, stirring occasionally, until soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and slice into thin strips.
• Whisk soy sauce, vinegar, ground white pepper, and sesame oil together in a small bowl for hot and sour mixture; set aside until needed.
• Whisk cornstarch and water together in another small bowl for slurry; set aside until needed.
• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ginger, sliced green onions, and shiitake mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring up to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Stir in carrot, red pepper, bamboo shoots, tofu, and the hot and sour mixture. Let simmer for 5 minutes.
• Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir the soup slowly with a spoon while transferring in the beaten eggs in a steady stream to create thin ribbons. Keep stirring until the soup comes back to a boil. Reduce heat to medium.
• Stir the cornstarch slurry to make sure it's well blended, then slowly drizzle it into the soup while stirring constantly. Soup should thicken up within 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off heat, taste for seasoning, and serve.

Steps:

• We don't really emphasize it in this specific video, but my dad is really big on washing his vegetables. So, wash them.
• In a bowl, mix together cornstarch and water? with a spoon until it becomes an even slurry.
• Set the stove to its highest heat setting, and start to heat up the wok.
• Cook the diced tomatoes for 30-60 seconds, then add our boiled water.
• Cover the wok with a lid. My dad opted for a smaller lid, which is supposed to help the wok come to a boil more quickly.
• Once the wok is boiling, we'll uncover the lid and add more character to our soup.
• Almost done! Turn off the heat and transfer the soup into a bowl. Garnish with the minced green onions.
