Hot and sour soup is a pungent and spicy Chinese restaurant dish that’s quick and easy to make at home. In fact, it tastes even better when it’s made in your own kitchen. The takeout stuff can be thick and gloppy, and is not always as vibrantly hot or sour as it could be. Our family-friendly recipe is mild for the kids, but feel free to adjust the seasonings (and viscosity) to your preference.<\/p>\n
To me, the magic of hot and sour soup is in the delicate egg ribbons suspended in the soup, which you’ll also see in egg drop soup<\/a>. They’re made by simply drizzling beaten eggs into the soup as it’s being swirled\u2014a fun cooking technique to try with the kids. Once you make our hot and sour soup, you’ll never want to whip out the takeout menus again.<\/p>\n Hot and sour soup is a classic dish you’ll find at Chinese takeout restaurants, food buffets, and celebratory banquet meals. The soup varies by region, but many traditional versions include dried shiitake and wood ear mushrooms, dried lily buds, pork blood and ground white pepper. The broth can be made from chicken, pork, beef or lamb.<\/p>\n You can still find the dried mushrooms and lily buds used in homemade versions or traditional Chinese restaurants, but our more accessible hot and sour soup recipe uses fresh shiitakes, bamboo shoots, tofu and cornstarch as a thickener.<\/p>\n In a large saucepan or stock pot, bring the chicken stock to a simmer.<\/p>\n Stir the in rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, salt, white pepper and red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n Add tofu, mushrooms and bamboo shoots; cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until dissolved. Stir the mixture into the broth until it has thickened, one to two minutes.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Bring the soup to a simmer\u2014but not a boil\u2014to activate the cornstarch. If you like your soup thicker, you can make and add more slurry, but add it in batches and give it a minute or two to thicken before adding more.<\/p>\n Slowly swirl a wooden spoon around in the soup to create a whirlpool. Carefully pour the beaten egg into the pot to create thick strands of scrambled egg.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> The soup should not be at a boil when you add the egg, or it will become cloudy. Continuously swirl the soup as you pour the egg in a thin stream. Once the egg is all added, stop swirling to let the egg set and float to the surface. If you prefer thinner ribbons, swirl the soup faster as you add the egg. Stir the soup slowly for thicker ribbons.<\/p>\n Gently stir in the sesame oil. Serve the soup in bowls and top it with green onion.<\/p>\n Hot and sour soup is best when served fresh. Store any cooled leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge. It will still be tasty reheated, but the egg ribbons will become a bit rubbery, and the tofu texture will change. Freezing leftover hot and sour soup is not recommended because the cornstarch slurry loses its thickening qualities when frozen, and more slurry will need to be added when the soup is reheated. Also, the tofu’s texture will become spongy and dense.<\/p>\n Hot and sour soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n If you plan to make your hot and sour soup beforehand, make the base with mushrooms and bamboo shoots, but wait until reheating to add the tofu, cornstarch and egg. You can freeze the base; thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating it.<\/p>\n Reheat refrigerated leftover hot and sour soup in a saucepan until it’s warmed through. To reheat frozen or made-ahead soup, simmer the base, add the tofu until it’s warmed through, then add the cornstarch slurry and egg as directed. Brighten the hot and sour soup with more vinegar and white pepper.<\/p>\n Hot and sour soup is a light but filling meal on its own. As part of a meal, it makes a great starter with our other Chinese food recipes<\/a>, like chicken fried rice<\/a> or chicken chow mein<\/a>.<\/p>\n Raid your nearest Chinese market! Instead of fresh shiitake mushrooms, use more traditional dried shiitake mushrooms and\/or wood ear mushrooms; soak them in hot water until they’re soft, discard the stiff stems and slice them. If using dried shiitake mushrooms, strain the soaking water and add it to the stock.<\/p>\n Rinse and soak dried lily buds twice, then trim off the hard tip and add them to the soup with the mushrooms. Use the more acidic black vinegar instead of the rice vinegar, but use it judiciously as it’s more potent.<\/p>\n Add thinly sliced spiced pressed tofu instead of the extra-firm tofu. This pressed tofu is not the water-packed tofu you press to remove excess water. It’s a small, firm, flat block of tofu (four or more blocks in a plastic bag or vacuum-sealed package) often braised in five-spice seasonings and soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our hot and sour soup recipe contains chicken stock, cornstarch, chili oil, white pepper, pepper flakes, rice vinegar, shiitakes, tofu,
