cup (250 mL)Traditional hot and sour soup is meat-based, but this vegetarian version gets its protein boost from tofu and eggs.
Ingredients
4 4 dried Chinese black (shiitake) mushrooms
hot water
2 tsp 10 ml canola oil
1 1 carrot, peeled and julienned
5 cups 1.25 l vegetable broth
1⁄4 cup 60 ml canned bamboo shoots, drained, julienned
3 tbsp 45 cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water
3 tbsp 45 ml low-sodium soy sauce
1⁄3 cup 75 ml rice vinegar
3⁄4 tsp 4 ml ground white pepper
6 oz 170 g savory baked or firm tofu, julienned
2 2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
Directions
- In small bowl, soak dried mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes or until softened. Cut off stems and any hard areas and discard. Cut caps into thin slices. Set aside.
- In stock pot, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and carrots and cook 2 minutes or until carrots are just soft. Add vegetable broth and bamboo shoots and bring to a boil. Add cornstarch mixture and stir until soup thickens, about 2 minutes. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar and white pepper. Stir.
- Add tofu and bring soup back to a boil. While stirring soup in circular motion in one direction, pour eggs in thin stream into soup.
- Remove soup from heat. Stir in green onions. Taste and adjust flavor with rice vinegar and white pepper. Serve immediately.
