| Vegan Hot & Sour Soup |
It is both Vegan & Gluten Free, assuming that you use all ingredients (especially Soy Sauce & Bouillon) that fit that description.
This recipe is adapted from one in Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson.
Hot & Sour Soup
Drain, Cube & Saute in a lightly oiled non-stick skillet, then set aside
1# Firm Tofu Cubes*
In a large pot or Dutch Oven,
Saute
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon ginger powder
add and simmer 5 minutes or so
6 Cups Water
3 large cubes Vegetable Bouillon (I use Knorr brand - where each cube makes 2 cups broth)
2 small cans (8oz total) Mushrooms (your choice of variety) or equivalent fresh
3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
3 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
3/4 teaspoons Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha, or to taste (or your favorite East Asian hot sauce)**
2 Tablespoons Tapioca Starch, dissolved in a little cold water (you can add more for thicker soup)
1 handful Greens (such as Spinach or Bok Choy)
OR a handful of Green Vegetables such as Snow Peas
2 or 3 cans (any size) of the following Asian Vegetables, according to what you have or prefer:
Baby Corn
Sliced Water Chestnuts
Sliced Bamboo Shoots
Tofu Cubes (from above)
Pepper to taste
Add at end of cooking
1 1/2 Tablespoons Dark Sesame Oil
Enjoy!
*Silken tofu that is cubed and not sauteed is traditional here. I like a little more substantial texture, so I use "Chinese style"(firm, non-silken) tofu, and saute it first
**I keep Sriracha to a minimum in cooking, then serve more as a condiment at table, so that my little girl doesn't find it too hot.
