I fancied making something spicy today!I absolutely love oriental food. I am desperate to visit that interesting part of the world, but hubby spent a month travelling around Japan when he was 19 and now won't go back.
To make this delicious soup, I just used what I found in the cupboard and thrown it in a pan, as I have made it so many times.
Taste as you go and adjust amounts depending on taste.
Ingredients
- A pack of firm tofu,
- 500 ml stock (I use vegetable cubes)
- tbsp light soy sauce
- tbsp dark soy sauce,
- tsp mirin (Chinese rice wine is better but I have ran out),
- tsp Chinese black rice vinegar,
- tbsp balsamic vinegar,
- a sprinkling of chilli flakes depending how spicy you like it, fresh ginger,
- tsp sesame oil,
- 1 egg white,
- cornflour mixed with 2 tbsps water
- a handful of frozen stir fry veg
- handful of frozen peas
Method
- Add everything to a pan except corn flour, egg white and peas.
- Bring to the boil
- turn down and simmer for a few minutes, it is a very quick soup
- add corn flour mixture and stir (this is to thicken)
- add egg white and stir quickly
- add frozen peas - these are added last so they don't lose the green colour.
- Serve with a sprinkling of spring onion
For a meat version add shredded pork and prawns
Enjoy
