Hot and sour soup (opt. ovo)

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
¾ cup Sweet and sour sauce (I use
The \"Joy of Cooking\")
2 cups Water
1 tablespoon Vinegar
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
1 Egg (optional)
1 teaspoon Hot sauce (I use a
Combination of tobasco and
Worchestersire
Sauce and season to taste
Which for me normally
Requires more than 1
Teaspoon)
2 tablespoons Barbecue sauce as the
Original recipe called for
Sliced barbecue pork
1 Cake tofu cut in 1/2\" cubes
x Watercrest and bamboo shoots
Sliced (rarely have them on
And)
1 Tomato sliced and diced
¼ cup Mushrooms sliced
¼ cup Red and green pepper sliced
2 Spring onions chopped
1½ teaspoon Corn starch (approx)

Directions

In a sauce pan add sweet and sour sauce, water and egg and beat.

Apply heat and add all other ingredients. As soup nears a boil add sufficient corn starch mixture to thicken. Continue to apply heat until soup thicken. Do not over cook as it is best when the vegetables are still crispy.

If the perspiration is not dripping from your brow can it really be called hot and sour soup?
