Spicy and sour tofu soup is a beloved comfort dish, celebrated for its bold flavors and creamy texture. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to recreate it at home.
Ingredients: 300g soft tofu (cubed), 500ml vegetable broth, 2 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chili oil, 1 egg (lightly beaten), green onions (chopped), a pinch of white pepper, and salt to taste. Optional: wood ear mushrooms or shiitake for extra umami.
Steps:
1. Prep: Drain tofu and cut into 1cm cubes. Soak dried mushrooms if using, then chop.
2. Broth Base: In a pot, bring vegetable broth to a simmer. Add mushrooms (if using) and cook for 3 minutes.
3. Seasoning: Stir in vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, and white pepper. Adjust sourness and spice to your liking.
4. Thicken the Soup: In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water, then gradually pour into the broth while stirring until slightly thickened.
5. Add Tofu and Egg: Gently add tofu cubes and let them heat through (about 2 minutes). Slowly drizzle in the beaten egg while stirring to create silky strands.
6. Finish: Season with salt, garnish with green onions, and serve hot with a side of rice.
Variations: For a richer version, add a dollop of sesame paste or ground pork. Vegetarians can substitute broth with mushroom stock. This versatile soup is quick, healthy, and perfect for any weather!
