Hot and Sour Soup
Serves: Family
Ingredients
| ½ C | Hot and Sour Soup Concentrate (GF) |
| 5 C | Water |
| 6 oz | Tofu, firm, drained and diced ½” |
| 6 oz | Ground Pork |
| 3 oz | Bamboo shoots, strips, canned, rinsed |
| 1 ea | Egg, slightly beaten |
| 2 Tbsp | Cornstarch |
| 2 Tbsp | Corn oil |
| ½ C | Green onions, chopped for garnish |
Instructions
- Mix 2 Tbsp. cornstarch with 1 C. water in a bowl and set aside. (Save the remaining 4 C. water for soup).
- Marinate ground pork with ½ Tbsp. of Marinade Seasoning (Starport 356 Gluten-Free), ½ Tbsp. water and ½ Tbsp. oil and set aside. (Optional: This makes the meat more tender and moist.)
- Dice firm tofu to ½” cubes. (Cut tofu slab into eight ½” slices. Cut each slice into three lengthwise strips. Cut each strip into eight cubes.)
- Slightly beat egg and set aside.
- Heat a wok or large pot on medium-high heat. Add oil and ground pork and sauté for about three minutes. Then add water, stir, and bring to a boil. Skim the surface froth and discard.
- Add diced tofu and bamboo shoots, stir gently, and heat until boiling.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture and slowly pour into the pot, stirring until thickened.
- Slowly pour the beaten egg into the soup in a stream. Gently stir the soup in one direction when the egg forms a streaming cloud.
- Add the Hot and Sour Soup Concentrate and remove it from the heat as soon as the soup comes to a boil. (Overcooking the Hot and Sour Soup Concentrate reduces the vinegar's sourness.)
- Garnish with green onions and serve.
