So far, this is the easiest and quickest recipe I&#8217;ve found, so if you like this dish, give this one a try.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot and Sour Soup from Gimme Some Oven<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/hot-and-sour-soup-recipe\/\">https:\/\/www.gimmesomeoven.com\/hot-and-sour-soup-recipe\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot and Sour Soup Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To make this hot and sour soup recipe, you will need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Broth: <\/strong>Either <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3brb6YD\">chicken<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2S9Ph8q\">veggie<\/a> stock (or half each of both) will do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mushrooms:\u00a0<\/strong>I recommend using shiitake mushrooms, but baby bella or even button mushrooms would also do.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37gBQYx\">Rice vinegar<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/31CPNyS\">soy sauce<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2vYjyhP\">chili garlic sauce<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/388fEBj\">ground ginger<\/a>:\u00a0 <\/strong>To flavor the broth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:\u00a0<\/strong>To thicken the broth. <em>Go easy on this<\/em> as it takes very little cornstarch to thicken liquids. It thickens quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:\u00a0<\/strong>Which we will whisk, and the drizzle into the soup to make those lovely egg ribbons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firm tofu:\u00a0<\/strong>Which we will cube and add to the soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Green onions:\u00a0<\/strong>To\u00a0stir\u00a0into the soup and also sprinkle on top as a garnish.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2le60DX\">Toasted sesame oil<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0An essential flavor in the soup, which we will drizzle at the very end.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper:\u00a0<\/strong>Hot and sour soup is traditionally made with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2vYjlLz\">white pepper<\/a>, which (heads up!) has a different and much stronger flavor than black pepper. I recommend adding in a pinch, and then you can always add in more later. Or if you don\u2019t have white pepper, black pepper will also do.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optional: <\/strong>Many restaurant versions of hot and sour soup are also made with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37eyUf0\">bamboo shoots<\/a>. I\u2019m personally not a fan of them, but you are welcome to add some in if you would like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How To Make Hot and Sour Soup:<\/h2>\n<p>To make this hot and sour soup recipe, simply\u2026<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make your cornstarch slurry. <\/strong>Whisk together 1\/4 cup of the stock and cornstarch until combined. Set aside. Should be like think gravy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bring the soup to a simmer. <\/strong>Add the remaining\u00a0stock, mushrooms, bamboo shoots (if using), rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger and chili garlic sauce to a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/bn685ass9n\">large stock pot<\/a>, and\u00a0cook until the soup reaches a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking for a minute or so, until the soup has thickened.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drizzle in those beautiful egg ribbons! <\/strong>While stirring\u00a0the soup in a circular motion with one hand, use your other hand to slowly drizzle the whisked eggs into the soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Season the soup. <\/strong>Stir in the tofu, half of the green onions, and sesame oil. Then season the soup with salt and pepper (black or white pepper, your choice) to taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve.\u00a0<\/strong> Ladle up your servings while the soup is nice and hot, garnished with extra chopped green onion pieces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Note: I will post more soup recipes down the road. It&#8217;s a chilly day here in my kingdom, and this soup was my first thought for today&#8217;s cooking column.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love hot &amp; sour soup and have been looking for an easy way to make &hellip; <a title=\"Thursdays Are For Cooking&#8230;.
