Chinese Vegetable Soup Recipe
- 5-6 lbs Chinese Vegetables (I have used Baby Bok Choy, Chinese Mustard Greens (gai choi), and Chinese or Vietnamese Spinach)
- 2 packages Tofu
- 12 cups water
- 1 Tbsp Hon Dashi (japanese fish stock) or other fish stock (use chicken broth as a substitute)
- 1 Tbsp Fish Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 4 Tbsp Miso
- 1 Tbsp chopped garlic
- 1 Tsp minced ginger
- 2 Tbsp torn fresh Basil leaves
- 2 Tbsp Chili Sauce or to taste (I've used Thai Tom Yum soup base as well as regular red asian chili sauces)
- Add water, fish or chicken stock, fish sauce, soy sauce, miso, garlic and ginger to a large pot and bring to boil over high heat.
- If you are not feeding kids, add the Tom Yum or Chili Sauce to the pot at this time.
- Add gradually and taste to ensure you get the proper level of spiciness for your liking.
- You'll need to stir the pot a bit to help the Miso dissolve into the broth.
- Chop the Baby Bok Choy into thirds and add to pot.
- Let boil for 1-2 minutes.
- While Bok Choy is boiling chop remaining vegetables into similar sized pieces and add to pot.
- Chop tofu into 1 inch squares and add to pot.
- Tear basil leaves and add to pot.
- Let boil for an additional 2-3 minutes, turn off, and serve.
- If serving for kids, reserve the chili sauce for the end and add individually to the adults bowls.
- I sometimes add chicken for the kids since they don't like Tofu as much as I do.
- It tastes great with Chicken too.
