Sweet and sour soup1/18/2024 ![]() ![]() It definitely needed additional vinegar to achieve the restaurant-style sourness. I agree with the reviewer that called this broth a good baseline. I really loved the end product, but had to constantly taste, season and add flavor. While the recipe does not note what type of miso is to be used, I use miso yellow/light/white. Instead of the recommended vegetables, I used mustard greens (about 5.5 oz destemmed) and English peas (shelled, about 5oz volumetrically). I also added a little bit of gochujang for spice. I doubled the garlic and ginger, substituted the water (for a broth made with low sodium chicken bouillon), doubled the Aleppo pepper, added soy sauce and coconut aminos to taste, increased the rice vinegar to taste, and omitted additional salt. Seconding the other reviewers, in that in its original iteration, it is not flavorful enough. Water not included in list of ingredients. also to those saying it is bland, although it was not specified, I believe a darker miso is better. I haven't made it without them but I can't imagine it without. This recipe is really good but missing kaffir lime leaves & lime juice. Tasted exactly like a hot and soup soup to me :) Added fresh chillies, more soy sauce and the big difference maker. Added about 5 Tablespoons on vinegar (malt vinegar did a better job than cider). Loved this, but echoing what everyone else has been saying ok the initial recipe being very bland. SO GOOD! Letting it simmer, really helps to enhance the flavours. Wish I had cilantro to top off at the end, but a squeeze of lime was good enough. I doubled the recipe, added a splash more apple cider vinegar since I like my Tom Yum on the tangy side, and used tofu instead of egg. It’s like a light, cleanse-friendly version of your typical takeout Tom Yum soup. ![]() I’m actually astonished by how good this vegan soup is.

That way, you’ll at least achieve that signature flavor profile that is hot and sour soup. Then, add the ground white pepper to season the broth at the end. That said, if you can only find ground white pepper, go ahead and substitute black for making the stock. A little bit goes a long way, but it’s crucial in hot and sour soup. White pepper is so bitingly strong, that I rarely use it. A broth is the final soup that you serve because it tastes good. Then, when you go adding things like salt, soy sauce, etc it becomes broth. You make the stock with aromatics like onion, ginger, and peppercorns. This recipe has been tested, so if your soup doesn’t thicken, it’s possible your cornstarch is very old and should be thrown out. Tip: You need to apply HEAT after you’ve added your slurry to see the thickening magic happen. Here are some starches you would use to make a slurry: To get this, we add a slurry (a solution of part water, part starch) and apply heat. If you’ve had hot and sour soup, you know that it’s thick. What exactly is a slurry (and why do we need it?) You won’t believe how useful a microplane is for grating ginger. My mom pointed to my microplane yesterday and asked about it. My store was OUT of shiitakes, so I went with the blander alternative, white button mushrooms.Įither way, the broth is rich enough in flavor to carry the soup so don’t fret about the mushroom variety too much.
