Vegetarian Hot and Sour Soup

 

1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil

3 green onions chopped

1 Tablespoon of chopped garlic

1 Tablespoon of chopped ginger

1 Tablespoon of sugar

2 Tablespoons of vinegar

2 Tablespoons of soy sauce (low sodium)

1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (or to taste)

8 cups of water

1 can of bamboo shoots (drained)

1 can of straw mushrooms (drained)

1 package of tofu (cut into little cubes)

1 Tablespoon of cornstarch

2 beaten eggs

sesame oil and chopped green onions for garnish

 

In a heavy saucepan sauté the green onions, ginger and garlic in

the

vegetable oil. When slightly browned add chili sauce, vinegar,

sugar and soy sauce. Add water, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and tofu.

When soup is boiling, lower heat and mix cornstarch with a little

cold water to add to soup, stirring all the time. Let soup simmer

for 10 minutes to allow flavors to mingle. Then add the beaten eggs,

stirring all the time. Taste for salt -- extra soy sauce may be

added if it is not salty enough. When serving add a sprinkling of

sesame oil and some chopped green onions.
