Here is another soup that I discovered I love drinking during a trip to China for a holiday.  It is Hot and Sour Soup.  This is how Chef Lau, who used to run a successful Chinese restaurant in New York made it.


Chef Lau used 21 ingredients to cook his Hot and Sour Soup.  If you are new to Chinese cooking, preparing so many ingredients for a soup can be intimidating.  However, if you break down the steps to parepare and cook it, you will realise that it is not such an arduous task after all.


I am happy to discover that Lotus, where I often buy my groceries from, do supply mix mushrooms.  This pack weighs 400g.

You do not have to use all the types of mushroom mentioned in Chef Lau's recipe.   Here is another version from Dana with no mushrooms.  Her recipe included two secret ingredients that her uncle used in his Chinese restaurant.  They are dried mandarin peel and lily flower.
