💚 Veggie Super Chef Contest (1st Season) Voting Results - Thank you so much for everyone’s support, I am really pleased to tell you that my recipe was selected as one of the Top 6!
Here, I would like to share this super easy, yet absolutely delicious recipe with you. I hope you’ll have a go at making it.
The main ingredients for this soup are tofu, bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried wood ear mushrooms, carrots, mung bean vermicelli (glass noodles), chilli bean paste, vinegar etc; cooked in a clear soup. The dish is characterised by it's sour, spicy, fresh, salty and fragrant flavours.
This soup is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. It is an indispensable and appetising healthy food which will helps to relieve heat in the hot summer.
Since dried shiitake mushrooms and dried wood ear mushrooms may not be something that people in the UK are familiar with, I have used fresh shiitake mushrooms in this recipe instead, and omitted the dried wood ear mushrooms. However, the traditional ingredients can be found in any Chinese supermarket, Amazon, and Sous Chef.
Shiitake mushrooms are one of the most popular mushrooms worldwide. They are prized for their rich, savory taste and diverse health benefits. Compounds in shiitake may help fight cancer, boost immunity, and support heart health.
You’ll only need 4-5 dried shiitake mushrooms (乾香菇) and 1 piece of dried wood ear mushrooms (木耳). The cooking method for these two ingredients are different to the fresh alternatives, if you have managed to find them and want to use them, let me know and I’ll be happy to explain.
I have found all the suppliers for the above ingredients and have attached the images in the comments below if you do want to give them a go.
You can get the fresh shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots and mung bean vermicelli from Tesco, just make sure you search online to ensure they stock them in the branch that you visit.
