Hot and Sour Soup

 

    4-10 dried Chinese mushrooms or regular mushrooms
    16 ounces Chinese bean curd, well drained or Tofu
    4 cans chicken stock (see Chicken Stock in Recipes)
    1 tablespoon soy sauce (at least)
    4 meat (whatever you like), cut into thin slices about 2 inches long
    1/4 teaspoon white pepper
    2 tablespoons red wine vinegar (to taste, this is the Sour)
    1 egg, beaten
    2 teaspoons sesame-seed oil
    1 green onion, sliced (or more)
    2 tablespoons red pepper flakes (to taste, this is the Hot)

     

Cover the mushrooms in a small bowl with warm water. Let them soak for 30 minutes to soften. Strain mushroom liquid and reserve. Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch slices; set aside.

Slice Tofu and  into 1/4inch slices and set aside.

Place the chicken stock in a large pot. Add the  soy sauce, mushroom liquid, mushrooms, Red pepper and ground pork. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer soup for 3 minutes. Add the white pepper, vinegar, and Tofu. Return soup to a boil. Add the beaten egg, while stirring gently. Remove from the heat. Add the sesame oil and sprinkle soup with green onions to serve.


MISO SOUP

1 teaspoon soybean oil
2 cloves garlic, mashed
2 green onions, sliced with tops
1 teaspoon fresh gingerroot, grated
1 cup mushroom, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons miso (in ethnic foods section or Asian market) I get mine at trader joe's
1 tablespoon dry sherry
4 cups water or Vegetable broth
Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and sauté until soft. Add fresh gingerroot and mushrooms. Cook an additional 5-10 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Reduce heat. Dissolve miso in 1/4-cup water and add to vegetables when cooled. Add remaining water and sherry and heat through. Be careful not to boil the soup after you've added the miso.
