I know, I know, it’s been long overdue. I miss you all too 😉

Anyway, unto the business of the day. Here goes this super easy soup that is sure to impress friends and family. This generously serves 4-5 people; enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • Tofu (about 1.5 cups, cut in desired shape)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • Black fungus (or any other type of mushroom)
  • 1/2 tsp Chili pepper
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chinese five spice
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp corn flour (mixed in with cold water)

 

Directions:

  • Add very hot water to black fungus and set aside (if using any other type of mushrooms, skip this step)
  • Bring about 5 cups of water to a boil and add all the spices
  • When water starts rolling over, add the black fungus (or mushroom) and tofu
  • add soy sauce as needed
  • When soup starts boiling over, pour in egg and mix as you do so to break up the egg.
  • Reduce to low heat and add corn flour mix until you get the consistency that you prefer
  • And you’re done 🙂

See! I told you the was super easy
