Chinese Hot And Sour Soup With Ramen Food

CHINESE HOT AND SOUR SOUP WITH RAMEN

Steps:

• If using dried shiitake and wood ear mushrooms, rehydrate them by submerging them in hot water for 15-20 minutes till they soften up. Reserve the water to be used as stock in the soup. Slice all the mushrooms and set aside.
• Heat oil in a pan and add red chillies and ginger. Saute till the ginger is golden brown and add the garlic. Saute the garlic for a few seconds and add the celery and carrots. Cook the carrots for a minute or two and add mushrooms, tofu, both the soy sauces and six cups water (or low sodium stock) to the pot (if using the stock from mushrooms, reduce the water to 5 cups and add the stock). Bring the pot to a boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes. Add the ramen to the pot.
• While the ramen is cooking, stir together cornstarch in 1/4 cup water and slowly add it to the pot while stirring continuously. Bring the soup to a quick boil. The soup should start to thicken. Slowly add in the beaten egg, swirling with a ladle as you go to create egg ribbons in the soup. Stir in rice vinegar, white pepper, salt (if using) and sesame oil. Turn off the flame. Top with an egg or just some green onions and enjoy.

• The Tabasco provides the hot, adjust quantity added according to taste.
• More can be added at the table to allow for additional heat as desired!
• The rice vinegar provides the sour;, so add more as needed until desired tartness is achieved.
• The more soy added, the darker the overall color of the broth, but as it is high in sodium, add more in small quantities and taste accordingly, until desired flavor results.
• White pepper can be substituted for the black pepper.
• Although the fresh ground black pepper more strongly flavors the soup overall than the white pepper does.
• Can be made vegetarian by eliminating the pork strips.
